Carol Jean Debrick

Carol left us on July 19, 2012 after a long battle with lung cancer. She died peacefully at home with her family around her. She was born in Grants Pass and attended school in Kerby and Klamath Falls. She graduated from Southern Oregon College and the University of Oregon and taught Elementary School in Eugene and Klamath Falls. She retired from teaching in Eugene in 1987. Carol married and had three children, a daughter Lori Leneve, a son Lon Leneve, and a daughter Robin Plummer who predeceased her. She was widowed in 1971, but met and married Frank Debrick in 1983. They moved to Bend in 1991. Since retiring, she and Frank traveled extensively. In their motor home they made trips to Jasper, Canada, along the Alcan highway to Fairbanks, Alaska, and down the Baja peninsula as well as to the Oregon Coast. Theyve gone with friends on bike trips along the Danube River and the wine country of France. Theyve enjoyed the sights of the Cinque Terra and the Tuscan region of Italy, the hill country of Provence, France, shopping in Hong Kong, touring Greece, and the Alps in Switzerland. With their friends they rented a sailboat and sailed around Tortola in the Caribbean. They toured Africa seeing Capetown, photo safaris in Kenya and the Pyramids of Egypt. They loved dancing, whether at the Elks Club or on cruise ships in the Caribbean. She volunteered at the MBSEF cross country races as well as at St. Charles Medical Center. They enjoyed skiing at Mt. Bachelor as well as kayaking and canoeing on the High Cascade Lakes. Carol was a knitter and a water colorist. She loved various crafts. She loved people that she met and made many friends. She was a member of PEO Chapter AI, and attended the First Presbyterian Church. Her survivors, along with her husband and children, are her step-son Frank P. Debrick, her brother Jim Anderton, her daughter-in-law Sally Leneve, and her grandsons, Andrew, Tucker & Derek Leneve. Carol will be greatly missed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and those who knew Carol knew that they beheld beauty. A memorial service will be held at 2PM on August 25, 2012 at the First Presbyterian Church of Bend. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the KIDS Center of Bend. Funeral Home: Niswonger-Reynolds Funeral Home New 105 NW Irving Ave Bend, OR US 97701
