Resided in: Monrovia, Indiana
Deborah Lea Warmoth, 68, of Monrovia, left this life on Friday, February 13, 2026 at Franciscan Hospital in Indianapolis. She was born in Danville, Indiana on September 11, 1957 to the late Jearld Oscar Ward and Tantra Lea Ward.
Debby, as most knew her, graduated from Eminence High School with the class of 1976. She married her soul mate, Gary Warmoth, on May 6, 1978. Debby dedicated her life to caring and loving others. While she stayed home to raise her family for many years, she also has worked several jobs including as a secretary for the former Don Sisks Pontiac and as a cook for Eminence Schools. Of Christian faith, Debby was a member of the Hazelwood Christian Church.
Finding immense joy and solace in the outdoors, Debby greatly enjoyed time spent camping and fishing with family. She loved boating at Dale Hollow Lake, Raccoon Lake, and more. An avid reader of mystery books, her love for thrilling stories was matched only by her devotion to her favorite sports teams, especially her beloved Indiana University basketball team. Although, she truly enjoyed all sports.
Debby will be deeply missed by many including her husband, Gary Warmoth of Monrovia; daughters, Lori (husband, Brandon) Fultz of Brownsburg, Lindsey (husband, Michael) Peck of Quincy, and Laci (husband, Eric) Hamblen of Martinsville; sisters, Karen (husband, Don) Emberton of Monrovia and Jenny (husband, Terry) Rosenbalm of Amo; and grandchildren, Harleigh, Marriah, Dustin, Reagan, Dylan, Hunter, Dominik, and Kaleigha.
Debby’s earthly remains have been cremated. The family will host a celebration of life at a later date.

Sallie and I were deeply saddened to tears to learn of debby’s health issues and finally her passing. I will fondly remember chasing debby, karen, and jenny around whatever house we were in playing monster. We shared major holidays for over 60 years. Debby’s passions were obvious: her family, her children, and her grands, and her passions also included sports, especially IU basketball. Sallie and I are so sorry for your loss which was our loss too. Obviously you share our heartfelt grief. Love, Steve and Sallie Wills.
