Debbie M.
Hosmer, 50, passed away Thursday (Oct. 11, 2012) at Jones Memorial Hospital
following a long and courageous battle with illness.
Mrs. Hosmer was
born on March 3, 1962 in Wellsville. She was a 1981 graduate of Richburg
Central School. On Nov. 14, 1981, she married Timothy I. Hosmer, who survives.
Debbie was a
cook for various restaurants, most recently the Lone Star Steakhouse in
Virginia until retiring in 2001 due to her illness.

her husband, Debbie is survived by her mother, Jane Cardwell of Richburg; two
daughters, Ashley Comstock and Rachael Saxton, both of Andover; a son, Michael
(Sarah) Hosmer of Andover; two sisters, Teresa Fields of Oxford, NC and Susie
Day of Richburg; five grandchildren, Ethan, Jenny, Zachary, Lillian and
Genessa; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
Debbie was a
member of Lighthouse Christian Fellowship and Andover Rescue Squad. She had a
lifelong love of animals, books and gardening, but the special passion and love
she held dearest was her love for her devoted husband, children and
grandchildren, who gave her strength to face these difficult years together.
