Deborah Schneider

Deborah (Debbie) K. Schneider (Abercrombie), 58, passed away unexpectedly on November 1, 2026. She was born on October 15, 1968, in Minot, North Dakota. For a short time, she lived in Burlington, North Dakota. Debbie graduated from Mandan High School in 1987.

Debbie was a proud mother of two sons and a loving grandmother to Noah Martin, whom she adored. She will be deeply missed for her warm smile, caring heart, and comforting hugs. Throughout her life, Debbie held various jobs in the Bismarck-Mandan area, but the work she was most proud of was caring for the elderly while working at a local nursing home.

As a child, Debbie loved spending time outdoors. She could often be found with animals and frequently came home with a stray pet. She enjoyed ice skating, sledding, and fishing with her siblings. Later in life, as a mother raising her two sons, she could often be found along the banks of the Heart River, fishing from shore. Debbie's love for family, nature, and simple joys will be remembered by all who knew her. She will be deeply missed.

Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Lyle and Ada Jane Abercrombie, and by her grandparents, aunts and uncles.

She is survived by her sons, Cody Abercrombie and Jakob Martin; her grandson, Noah Martin; her brothers, Don Graf (Jolene), and Steve Graf and her sister, Tammy Kear (Bud). She is also survived by three nieces and one nephew.

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Edgewood Nursing Home for the compassionate care they provided during Debbie's stay.

Cremation has taken place. No services are planned at this time.
