Debra Lynn Billens, age 57, of Rensselaer, Indiana passed away on Friday, July 22, 2022 at Methodist Hospital in Merrillville, IN. She was born on March 24, 1965 in Illinios, the daughter of Charles and Anita Jacobson. Debra graduated from Calumet High School, Class of 1984.

Debra loved 4th of July and other Holidays, ensuring that her home was the most cheerfully decorated for Christmas. Debra is survived by her life partner, James Bennett; children, David Billens (Lisa Sipkema) of Rensselaer, and Justin Billens of Merrillville; step-grandchildren, Landon Sipkema and Braylon Sipkema; and siblings, Ricky Jacobson, Dawn Uchman, Sherry Shirley, and Steven Jacobson.
