Debora "Debi" Scharf

Debora L. Scharf “Momma” passed away surrounded by the love and comfort of her family on June 3, 2018. She was born December 27, 1960, in Des Moines, to Virgil and Vicki Webb.

Debi was a proud East High graduate, Class of 1979, and later married her high school sweetheart, Todd Scharf. She was a dedicated homemaker and in-home childcare provider for many years. Debi never met a child she didn’t fall in love with, or that didn’t fall in love with her.

Debi was a woman of great faith and had a close relationship with the Lord. She was an active member of NewLife Church in Pleasant Hill where she taught Sunday school. Her faith in Jesus gave her the strength to fight and overcome her battle with cancer in 2017 and all of her ongoing medical struggles.

Debi was an active member of the community where she enjoyed coaching basketball and serving as a Girl Scout leader with her daughter. She had a love for the outdoors whether it be fishing, boating, gardening, driving around in the convertible “her equalizer,” or relaxing by the fire pit.

Debi loved Mickey Mouse and had a large collection of Mickey Mouse collectibles. She also enjoyed traveling, “wanderlust adventures,” writing, reading and participating in book clubs. Above all else, her greatest joy came from time spent with her family and loved ones.

Debi is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Todd; children, Matt Scharf and Nicolette (Nicholas) Sinn; mother, Vicki Woodard; father, Virgil (Marti) Webb; siblings, Doug (Susan) Webb, John (Kim) Huebner, Andi (Jeff) Hatch, Bob (Jodi Schlenker) Higgins; brother-in-law, Saul Herrera; nephews and nieces, Mitch, Zak (Caroline), Seth, Kaelyn (Troy), Nate (Mackenzie), Samantha, and Ryan; many great-nieces and nephews; her loving mother and father-in-law, brothers and sisters –in – law, and countless friends.

She was preceded in death by her sisters, Lisa Herrera and Reneé Webb, as well as an infant brother, Michael Webb.

A memorial service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, June 8, 2018, at NewLife Church, 6036 NE 12th Ave. in Pleasant Hill. You are invited to join the family for a continued celebration of life at 1:00 p.m. on Friday at Thomas Mitchell Park.
