Deborah Bourdeau, 63, of Twining, Mich. passed away Nov. 8, 2011 at Bay Regional Medical Center.

            Deborah was born Sept. 28, 1948 in Saginaw, Mich. to Harold and Betty (Treanor) Meschke.

            Deb is survived by her loving husband, John; mother, Betty; sister, Julie Meschke; brother, Barry Meschke; nieces, Ashley Meschke and Gwen Myers-Beck; nephew, Daniel Meschke; two great-nieces; and two great-nephews.

            She is preceded in death by her father, Harold and nephew, U.S. Naval Air Force Lt. Michael Meschke.

Forshee & Sons Funeral Homes, Inc., Au Gres Chapel and from 10 a.m.-11 a.m., Friday, Nov. 11 at St. John Lutheran Church, 206 N. Court St. Au Gres. A Christian Burial will be held at 11 a.m., Friday at the church with Pastor Frederick T. Cordts officiating. Interment will follow in Evergreen Cemetery, Omer, Mich.
