(Graves) Keller, was born on January 14, 1954, on the Chanute Air Force Base in Champaign, Illinois and died on September 2, 2020, at the Audubon County Memorial Hospital in Audubon, Iowa at the age of 66 years, 7 months, and 19 days. Debra attended school in Council Bluffs, Iowa where she was very gifted and frequently made honor role, and she graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School with the Class of 1972. Following graduation, Debra was employed by the city of Council Bluffs doing many different jobs, depending on the season. Not too long after, she went to work for the phone company, where she worked for approximately 20 years, taking early retirement to care for her mother. On February 14, 1991, Debra agreed to go on a blind date with Steven Callaway, and by Friday, April 13, 1991, they were united in marriage at the Little White Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada, not being bothered by the Friday the 13th superstition. They each brought two older children into the marriage, and they instantly became a family of six. During her time at the phone company, Debra took several professional classes at Metro Tech Community College in Omaha, Nebraska. After a break for a number of years, Steve and Debra moved to Exira, Iowa, in September 1998, and later purchased the Holiday Motel; which they operated for more than 10 years, selling in 2012. Together they loved spending time traveling, especially to South Dakota to go camping and see the sites such as the Badlands National Park, the Reptile Gardens, and Mount Rushmore. Debra loved animals and over time built up quite the menagerie on their acreage, which they lived on full time shortly before selling the motel. A passion of Debra’s was “goin’ junkin’,” a favorite term of hers for going to yard sales and thrift stores. She always found something she thought someone would enjoy, and was very generous of heart and meant well with every gift, regardless if it was actually needed. She loved spoiling her grandchildren and loved her animals. Debra was a very open-minded thinker and was very willing to listen to others’ viewpoints and will always be remembered for making friends easily. Preceding her in death were her parents, her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, and a brother-in-law. Survivors include her husband, Steven; her children: Chanda and husband, Norman; Micah and wife, Goldie; Steven Jr. and wife, Sarah, and Billie; 14 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law: Robert and wife, Lora, Brian, and Angela; as well as other relatives and many friends. An open visitation will be held Tuesday, September 8, 2020, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Kessler Funeral Home in Exira, Iowa, with the family present from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. A Private Family Graveside Service will be held in the Exira Cemetery with Pastor Chris Andersen officiating. Interment will be in the Exira Cemetery. The Kessler Funeral Home in Exira is in charge of her arrangements.
