Debra Eileen Endicott, born August 7, 1962, passed away on September 6th, 2026 surrounded by the love of her family. While she wore many titles throughout her life, none meant more to her—or to those who knew her—than Mom.

That same fierce compassion followed her into her life’s work. As an oncology nurse, she spent decades caring for patients during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

But above all else, she was a mother. Her greatest legacy will not be measured by the number of patients she cared for or the years she spent in nursing, but by the lives she touched within her own family.

She leaves behind a family who will carry her strength, her love, and her spirit forward. She is survived by her loving spouse of 28 years, Jim Wallace; her children, Katie Hill (Adam), Andrew Endicott (Christen), and Justin Endicott; her father, Larry McRoberts; her mother, Gloria Miller; her sisters, Lisa North and Stephanie McRoberts-Smith; and her fourteen grandchildren, who brought her immeasurable love and joy.

Though her absence leaves a space that can never be filled, her presence will remain—in the lessons she taught, the memories she created, and in the people she loved so completely.

She was a woman who fought through whatever life placed in front of her. Her courage was not the absence of struggle, but her unwavering decision to keep loving and keep fighting for the life and family she cherished.

Most importantly, she was a mother.

And she was, and always will be, fiercely loved.

Visitation will be held on Friday, September 11, 2026 from 12pm to 2pm at Linnemann Funeral Homes, Erlanger. A Catholic Blessing will be said at 2pm. Debra will be laid to rest at St. Mary Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers you can donate to support antisynthetase syndrome research and patient support through The Myositis Association, which funds specific grants and fellowships for this rare condition.
