Debra Ann Elizabeth Bemiller Robertson went home to God on April 25, 2019. She was born on January 14, 1953 in Mansfield, Ohio to Carlton and Evelyn Bemiller. She is survived by her Mother, Aunts: Marjorie Roush Davis and Lena Rose Holzworth. Her four children: Tara Rhodus (Greg), Kevin Robertson (Chelsea), Charissa Mallery and Bryan Robertson (Angela), sister Diane Bemiller, two brothers: Dale and Scott Bemiller, her beloved companion Rocco John Stasi, and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. She leaves behind nine grandchildren: Sydney and Adrienne Rhodus, Scott, Emily, Lily, Kailey and Brooklyn Robertson, Rylee and Tyler Mallery who were the light of her life. She was preceded in death by her Father and grandparents Adam and Lena Caroline Holzworth and Orval and Grace Bemiller.
She graduated from Crestview High School in 1971 and from there went to cosmetology school. Life brought her to Kansas City where she raised her 4 children and pursued her Associates Degree. Through the years, she worked at Blue Valley North High School, helped open Harrah’s Casino in North Kansas City, worked the football games at Notre Dame, and American Family Insurance.
Debra treasured all her friendships from her many walks of life. She cherished the birthdays with each grandchild by spoiling them for an entire day. She was always well put together and people always mentioned her newest nail design for the holidays. She was a woman of faith and with that felt gratitude for all of life’s blessings. Her positivity, spirit and love of life are inspiring.

So sorry for loss as she was a sweet lady and will be missed by many. Prayers and hugs.
A most wonderful woman who brought so much magic to our lives. Beautiful pictures of such a beautiful soul.
She was a loved friend a very good woman. She was a joy. She will always be recalled as such. The Greig family was always glad to see her. I wish the Robertsons well during this temporary separation
You are one of the kindest and sweetest people I’ve known and I am glad you were part of my family! Never a dull moment around you and always smiles when I saw you. Knowing that we all have another star shining light down on us will help get us through this one day at a time. May peace be with your family know this. Love and miss you Aunt Debi!
As your mom and grandma, she left you with all that you need to live without her — faith. Of course, everyone will miss her, but remember she is where we all hope to be at the end of our life — touching the face of Jesus. My prayers and love are with you always❤️??????
To the Family, so sorry for your loss. Hope you will be comforted in knowing that Debra has the prospect of being resurrected, healthy (in the flesh), to Paradise Earth just as Jehovah God has promised. In fact , the vast majority will enjoy everlasting life right here on earth as God had intended from the beginning. God’s Kingdom will do this under the rule of Jesus Christ.
