Debra R. Grasley

Debra R. Grasley, 58, of Bucyrus, died unexpectedly of natural causes Tuesday, March 6, 2012 at her residence.

She was born June 29, 1953 in Bucyrus to the late Bobby J. and Lena L. (Harris) Turner. Debbie graduated from Bucyrus High School in 1972 when she began working at Galion Dresser until they closed. She then worked at Timken until her health no longer permitted her to do so.

Debbie was a strong, independent woman and loving mother. She always provided for her son and, later, her grandchildren. Years ago, Debbie found relaxation playing Nintendo games and enjoyed sports cars, specifically her Datsun 280Z. More recently, Debbie loved shopping on QVC, being on her computer (which replaced the Nintendo only because she mastered every game owned) and decorating for holidays - Halloween being her favorite. But of all her hobbies, enjoying family and helping others were her favorites. She spoiled her grandchildren every chance she got and she loved giving to others.

She is survived by her son, Travis Grasley and his wife, Tammy of Tiffin; two grandchildren, Noelle and Nicholas Grasley; two brothers, Mike Turner and Gary (Connie) Turner, both of Bucyrus; one sister, Sandy (Ted) Coder of New Washington; nieces and nephews, Jacen Turner, Carrie Turner, Christopher Fawley, Kasey Coder and Cheyenne Turner and one great niece, Bree Fawley in addition to her close friends, Gerri Scarbro, Ann Downing, Barb Dostal, Sheree Young and Debbie Schifer.

In addition to her parents preceding her death, Debbie was greatly influenced and shared a strong bond with her late grandmother, Blanche "Ma" Spaide.
