Deborah A. Bartholomay, 71, of the Lake Geneva area passed away on August 31, 2021.
On August 31, 2021, our mom passed away in her home surrounded byfamily, who took the time to help care for her in her final days and hours. She was the pillar of strength in this family. Weare aware of all the lives she touched and enriched. She was and still is the most incredible, selfless, and loving person we will ever know. She was our confidant, our teacher, our protector and last but not least our mom. A mom that loved her children unconditionally. She was a teacher, sister, a mother-in-law, a Great Debbie, and best friend to others. Words cannot and will never be able to express the grief and loss our family is feeling right now. Just know that we all now have the best guardian angel anyone could ever hope to have watching over us. We will feel her in the breeze, we will see her in the "green lace " of spring and we will forever carry her in our hearts as we live our lives.
"Thank you, momma, we love you so much and will miss you forever."
