Debbie (Bryant) Krause

Deborah “Debbie” Bryant Krause, age 67, of Magnolia passed from this earthly life to her eternal rest on Thursday, December 19, 2024.

She was born on March 30, 1957, in New Hanover County and was the daughter of Robert Bryant of Burgaw and the late Martha Kay Shepherd Beacham. 

She was a member of Riley’s Creek Baptist Church.

Surviving to cherish her memory is her best friend and husband of 48 years, Dean Krause of the home; sons Brian Krause and wife Ali of Wilmington and Justin Krause and wife Amber of Rocky Point; grandchildren Riley Krause, Rory Krause, Reagan Krause, Dezmond Krause and Haylie Krause; sister Beverly McKeithan and husband Michael of Leland; numerous extended family and friends that loved Debbie dearly.

Debbie was a devoted wife and loving mother, grandmother and sister.  She enjoyed the simple things in life, but her greatest joy was her family.  With a love for nature and the outdoors, Debbie enjoyed living on the farm and tending to her many animals. She was an avid animal lover and being with them was her ‘Happy Place’.  Debbie always had signs and the words “Believe” around her home and farm.  She was a firm believer in God and lived her life as an example to others.  Debbie will surely be missed but she will never be forgotten.
