Debbie Stringham

Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend Debbie Stringham, age 70, passed away at her home in Laketown, Utah on June 20, 2024 after a battle with cancer. 

Debbie is the daughter of Ivan and Kae Weston. She was born in Logan, Utah on May 5, 1954.

Mom was raised in Laketown as the third of seven children. She loved spending time with her family, having picnics, and going to Temple Flat. Her childhood was a happy one. Her relationship with her siblings was a blessing throughout her life. She graduated from North Rich High School where she was on student council and a cheerleader. She went on to attend Utah State University. She had many dear friends, most of whom remained her friends throughout her life. Mom was a very loyal person.

Debbie married Dan Stringham on March 6, 1976, in Logan Utah Temple. They were married for 48 years and blessed with two children and seven grandchildren. No family event was complete without a joke from Dad and Mom rolling her eyes beside him. They balanced each other out. Mom was our rock, the foundation that taught us, the nurturer who loved us, and the glue who kept us close.

She served as Postmaster in Laketown for 30+ years. No one could run a business as efficiently as she did. She managed her home in a similar manner, with order and cleanliness. She enjoyed making her home beautiful with flowers and décor. Her motto was to work before you play. The problem was, the work was never done.

Mom was talented at playing the piano and organ which she did for many years. She also served in many various callings and was a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints her entire life. She always found ways to serve others and made them feel important, especially remembering everyone’s birthdays and special events.

One of her greatest joys was being a grandma. She spoiled her grandkids and loved every opportunity to see them. They will have a very special guardian angel. 

Our family would like to thank everyone for their many acts of love and kindness as they exemplified the way Mom tried to live. We also express our appreciation to Mom’s hospice nurse for her special care in Mom’s final days.

Mom is preceded in death by her parents, Ivan and Kae. 

She is survived by her husband, Dan; her two children, Ryan (Kylie) Stringham of Richmond, Lori (Wade) Cornia of Nibley, grandchildren MacKenzie, Brock, Jaxon, Brynlie, Boston, Addi, and Jagger, her dear siblings, Sherilyn (Steve) Rex, Dixon (RaNae) Weston, Annette (Kelvin) Pugmire, Pauline (Mike) Williamson, Patti (Bart) Argyle, Jim (Lynn) Weston, and many beloved nieces and nephews. 

A public visitation will be held Saturday, June 29, 2024, from 9:30 am – 11:30 am with funeral services following at 12:00 pm at the Laketown Ward LDS chapel, 115 S 100 E, Laketown, Utah. Interment will be at the Laketown Cemetery.
