Deborah Brant

It grieves us to announce that Deborah Ann (Deem) Brant, 68, of Marietta, Ohio passed away at her home on October 17, 2022 of natural causes. Deborah was born to Richard and Shirley Deem in Urichsville, Ohio on December 22, 1953. She graduated from Fort Frye High School in 1973. Deborah had a passionate love for animals (especially horses) and was an advocate for animal welfare who donated periodically to the ASPCA. She also had a deep appreciation for Native American culture and art. Her strong personality and quirky sense of humor will be sorely missed. Deborah is preceded in death by her parents Richard and Shirley Deem and her beloved dogs, Shep and Ginger. She is survived by her older brother, Richard M. Deem Jr. and her children Carla (Zachary) Hanes, Tracy (Joseph) Brant, and Eric (Angela) Brant. She was also adored by seven grandchildren, eight great grandchildren, and her kitten, Blossom. A memorial will be held at a later date that is not yet determined.
