Debbie Rae Cook Kline

Debbie Kline, 65, was born October 29, 1954 in Des Moines, Iowa to Sammy and Jean Rich. She passed away Tuesday, August 25, 2020 at Unity Point Iowa Methodist Hospital.

Debbie was a proud mom of four who never missed a game. She was the mom with snacks who knew every kids name on the team, and became best friends with the parents. Debbie had many longtime friends. We will always remember Debbie as the one who cheered us on, who helped us see the bright side, and genuinely loved us well…no matter what. Debbie was a fighter. Some call it stubbornness, but we like to call it determination. Debbie fought health challenges for more than two decades, but rarely let it slow her down. She was determined to be present and live life to its fullest with those she loved, and those she just met.

Her light is still so bright, and will continue to shine through her loving husband of 33 years, Joe; children, Samantha Jean Kline, Niki Anne Kline, Brian James (Devon) Kline, and Jeffrey Joseph (Tori) Kline; grandchildren, Taner, Tara, Jameson, Bowen, Wyatt, Trygg, Barrett, and Charley; siblings, Barry (Nancy) Cook and Cheri (Mike) Parton; and a host of other loving relatives and many special friends.

Debbie was preceded in death by her parents.

Visitation will be held from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., Friday, August 28, 2020 at Hamilton’s Southtown Funeral Home, 5400 SW 9th Street, Des Moines. Funeral services will follow at 2:00 p.m. also at the funeral home. The family respectfully asks guests to wear masks and practice social distancing. Debbie will be laid to rest at Resthaven Cemetery at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the family in loving memory of Debbie.
