Deborah Lea Warmoth

September 11, 1957 ~ February 13, 2026

Born in: Danville, Indiana
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.
