Funeral for Deborah Shawley

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Krystal and I’m reaching out for help to cover funeral costs for my beloved Aunt Deb. She passed away in the early morning on August 14th. She had health problems but a spark for life and fun, family was always first and she had the biggest and kindest heart anyone could have ever been blessed with. She was on dialysis three times a week, and had just had a triple bypass not long ago ( last month I believe). My son and I would drive up from Medford to Vancouver and visit with her as often as we could. She was worried that being hooked up to a machine would scare him ( he’s only 6) but I told him that Tia Debbi was a superhero in disguise and to kinda thing of it like IronMan. only she had to be plugged in like a phone to charge! When Debbi heard what I had told him she laughed so hard she cried. Any time we would visit he would always be so excited to go and see Tia at her “village”, never a city or town it was always Tia Debbi village. As I am typing this I can remember her laughing when I told her this.
After she had her bypass she was still in so much pain, at the hospital they had sat her up and something at the bottom of her spine broke and ended up getting an infection that they did not catch in time. She was taken to the ICU on Sunday and later passed on Monday. They had trouble keeping her heart rate up and her heart ended up giving out.
Her wishes were to be buried next to her mom in Olympia, there’s only one spot available. Since great grandpa was in the service and is buried elsewhere, we all knew that this spot was for her. unfortunately the costs of medical bills and the funeral and everything that goes with it is going to be close to $20,000. Nobody in the family has that kind of money, and that is why I am reaching out for help.
