Deborah Biesecker Obituary

Deborah J. Biesecker, 66, of Elsie, passed away July 6, 2025, at Great Plains Health in North Platte.

Deb was born July 4, 1959, at McCook, Nebraska, to John and Vivian (Kinkaid) Collins. She grew up in Southwest Nebraska and attended school in Grant.

On July 26, 1978, Deb married Larry D. Biesecker at Keystone, South Dakota. The couple made their home in Elsie, where they raised their family. Deb was a homemaker and caregiver. After raising her children, she discovered a passion for the nursing field, starting as a nurse's aide at the Perkins County Hospital. She then obtained her LPN license and worked at North Platte for several years. She also worked at various community medical clinics in the surrounding area over the years.

Deb enjoyed a simple life centered around her family. She loved cooking, taking care of her flowers, and listening to music. Her birthday was on the Fourth of July, and many of her special birthday memories were interwoven with fireworks and family. Deb's favorite holiday of all was Christmas, which was an occasion for cooking and baking treats and candy for the holidays.
