BOMBER MEMORIAL

DEBORAH LYNN "DEBBIE" THOMPSON ROBBINS ~ Class of 1969
April 17, 1951 - October 12, 2019



Deborah was born to Jean and Elmer Thompson in Richland on April 17, 1951. She attended Richland schools graduating with the Class of 1969 from Richland's Columbia High School. After a career in banking, she earned her Master’s Degree in social work from Eastern Washington University. Deborah died at home on October 12, 2019.

As a social worker in Spokane, Deborah worked with homeless women and women and children affected by domestic violence and sexual assault. After returning to the Tri-Cities, Deborah worked with at-risk kids, people grieving the loss of loved ones and those whose loss was from suicide.

She loved her work, her family, a good belly laugh, her many plants, Anthony’s for dinner, this beautiful planet, Kind Bars, Jethro Leroy Gibbs (NCIS), and above all, the children – yours, mine and everyone’s.

Deborah leaves behind her sister, Kathleen Thompson Bauknight ('66); brother-in-law, Bruce; nephews, Sam and Jeremiah; and many cousins.

Memorial donations may be made to the Bereavement Program at Chaplaincy Health Care; 1480 Fowler St.; Richland, WA 99352. A memorial to celebrate Deborah’s life will be held in the Spring.
