Survivors include her husband, Ron; children, Ryan (Callie) Trewin, Nick Trewin, and Allison (Jeremy) Blok; and grandchildren, Libbie, Ella, Macie, Brielle, Brinley, Bella, Charlotte, and Beau. Deb was born on August 18, 1958, in Mason City, Iowa, the daughter of Louie and Reva (Tice) Peters. She graduated from Rockwell-Swaledale High School in 1976, and after much determination she received her degree from the University of Iowa. On January 12, 1980, she married Ronald Trewin in Thornton, Iowa. They started their family and moved to Lisbon in 1988. Deb worked a short time at Aegon, before beginning a career as a Sales Trainer, most recently with Mediacom. Deb's love for her family and her beautiful yard is her greatest legacy. She was born to be a grandma, affectionately known as Grandma Dragon. Her eight grandkids were her 'little diamonds'. She had an amazing ability to interact and be a kid with them. Deb loved having her family together for holidays and birthdays. She enjoyed creating ice cream birthday cakes for these special occasions. Her yard was also her pride and joy and it showed. Deb loved making things beautiful for others to enjoy. She lived for the summer when she could be outside working on making it perfect. Deb will be remembered for her quick wit, jokes and pranks, and making people laugh. Her spirit and love will never be forgotten. She was preceded in death by her parents; brothers, Gary and Lynn Peters; sister, Beverly Behr; and nephew, Steve Peters.

  5. I was a classmate of Deb’s, and many years later, she and I reconnected when I had the privilege of caring for Grandma Reva Peters at the Rockwell Nursing Home. I witnessed the very things you describe. She was an attentive, loving daughter and a friend to all the staff and residents. After Grandma Peters passed, Deb would send memorial money each spring to be used to plant flowers in her mother’s name. My sympathy to all who loved her. Sue Ames Adams
