Deborah (Debbie) Marie Vetter

August 12, 1969 - April 8, 2024 - Debbie Marie Vetter passed away unexpectedly at her home April 8, 2024, in Woodburn Oregon.

Debbie was a lifelong resident of Woodburn except for six years when she lived in New Jersey where she served as the nanny of the family of the Chaplin of Princeton University and formed some cherished friendships.

She was one of the biggest Ozzy Osbourne fans in the world and attended live hard rock concerts in Oregon, New Jersey, and New York. She was also a die-hard New York Yankees fan and had a link to George Steinbrenner (who owned and managed the team from 1973 to 2010).

Debbie staffed the concession stand the Woodburn Kiwanis Outdoor Pool, delivered newspapers for the Woodburn Independent and worked at Cutsforth's Market and Safeway.

After returning to Oregon from New Jersey, she worked at Woodburn Safeway as deli manger. She retired for medical reasons in 2000.

Debbie was preceded in death by father Lee Vetter and is survived by her mother Susan Marie Vetter of Woodburn, sister Cindi Michelle Vetter of Woodburn, and brother Daniel Scott Vetter of California.

Per her wishes, Debbie’s body was donated for scientific research through Oregon Body Gift. In lieu of flowers, donations are requested to a GoFundMe account to help with her memorial fund: https://gofund.me/9d44b700.

Donations are also encouraged to Woodburn Community Meals.

A Celebration of Life, followed by a light lunch, will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 27, at Immanuel Lutheran Church, 1036 E. Lincoln St., Woodburn.
