Debra Sue (Huber) Titus

March 1, 1957 – August 20, 2026

With profound love, endless gratitude, and heavy hearts, we announce the peaceful passing of our extraordinary mother, Debra Sue (Huber) Titus, who left this world surrounded by family in her home peacefully.

Debra Sue Titus was born on March 1, 1957 in Muscatine, Iowa, the daughter of Donald Eugene Huber, Sr. and Beverly Ann (Lingle) Huber. Debra Huber was married to her late husband, Bill Titus. She enjoyed art and crafts, plants, auctions, flea markets, her animals, and being surrounded by family at gatherings.

Debra will be deeply missed by her six daughters, Kelly (Russell) Fey of Muscatine, Iowa, Dajsha (Andrew) Campbell of Wapello, Iowa, Jessica (Bill) Hake of Wapello, Iowa, Jennifer (Horacio, Jr.) Marquez of Muscatine, Iowa, Michelle Jackson of Floris, Iowa and Timber (Phil) Martin of Downing, Missouri; seven sons, Jacob Jackson of Letts, Iowa, Elijah Jackson of Kirksville, Missouri, William (Brooke) Jackson of Keosauqua, Iowa, Christopher Jackson of Kirksville, Missouri, Steven (Nikole) Jackson of Lancaster, Missouri, Wesley (Autumn) Jackson of Lancaster, Missouri, and Joseph (Peyton) Titus of Lancaster, Missouri; 32 grandchildren; 32 great grandchildren; and one sister, Sandy Braasch of Muscatine, Iowa.

Debra was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Bill Titus; three sons, Raymond Jackson Jr., Casey Jackson, Billy Jo Titus and brother, Donald Eugene Huber, Jr.

A woman of fierce strength, boundless creativity, and a heart large enough to hold the entire world, Deb lived a life defined by devotion, resilience, and art. She was the anchor of a massive, beautiful family, each of whom inherited a piece of her unstoppable spirit, her independence, and her deep capacity for love.

She was the absolute heart of our family—a woman of vibrant creativity, and a free spirit who proudly marched to the beat of her own drum. Deb genuinely enjoyed being different and expressing herself in every aspect of her life, proving that normal was vastly overrated.

She lived a wonderfully adventurous life full of unexpected twists and turns, and she had an endless collection of incredible stories to tell from her experiences. Whether recounting a wild escapade from years past or finding humor in the everyday chaos, her quick wit and hilarious perspective brought laughter to us all. To meet her was to love her; she had an effortless magnetism, and anyone who crossed her path was instantly drawn to her warmth, authenticity, and electric personality.

Debra viewed life through a creative lens. Whether she was working with her hands, bringing color and beauty to the spaces around her, or simply finding inventive ways to solve life’s everyday challenges, her imagination knew no bounds, and she poured her artistic soul into everything she touched. She taught her children that life is a canvas, to be approached with courage, originality, and grace.

As a grandmother, her joy only multiplied. She adored her countless grandchildren and great-grandchildren, each of whom held a uniquely precious place in her heart. To them, she was a source of endless wisdom, warm hugs, unforgettable stories, and filled them with laughter.

Though her physical presence is no longer with us, the foundation she built, the art she left behind, and the immense love she poured into her family will echo through generations. Her legacy is not just in the massive family tree she grew, but in the strength and creativity she planted in every single one of us.

"A mother's love is a legacy that lives on through her children, shaping the world long after she is gone."
