Deb Sue was born the daughter of Charles L. Misner and Betty Lou (Schmitt) Brown on December 30, 1959 in Atlantic, Iowa .
Deb attended the Atlantic Schools and graduated with a GED. She was married to Norman E. Hoeck, the father of two of her children. She was previously married to Lyle L. Dorscher. The couple were blessed with two children. Lyle died September of 2004. She was then married to Rick D. Thomas in Atlantic, on December 12, 2006.
Thanksgiving was her favorite holiday. Spending time with her family was her joy.
