October 30, 1956 – July 13, 2023
It is with extreme sadness that the family of Debra Ann Stangeland (McReynolds) announce her sudden passing at her home on July 13 2023 due to medical complications.
Debra was born in Calgary October 30th, 1956 and was predeceased by her parents Ruth McReynolds (Mombouquette) and stepfather Maurice Mombouquette.
A true Calgarian born and raised, and a life long fan of the Stampeders and the Calgary Flames. Debra’s working life included being a teacher’s aid, Safeway clerk, and most recently a cashier for London Drugs.
Deb’s love of the holidays afforded her the joy to go shopping and decorate for any family gathering. Getting together with Branden, Jenny, Breanna and Bryan were one of her most cherished highlights. Deb’s appreciation for the arts, prompted her to dabble in writing, poetry, and drawing.
Debra is survived by her three children Breanna, Branden and Pamela (granddaughter Alina). She will be dearly missed by her six sisters, Patty (Wayne), Cheryl, Kathy, Fran (Rob), Shelia (Joe) and June (Pete). She dearly loved all her nieces and nephew, (Hailey and Chloe, Sydney, Andrea and Rob). She will also be missed by her Aunt Jan Clarke, cousins Wade (Paula) and Tari (Graham) son Mathew, and brother in law Faron.
She will be dearly missed as in reality she was taken far too soon.
Grief is the reminder that love was present, and that even if it’s no longer in its original form, that love still exists.

I am truly saddened to hear of Deb’s passing. She was a wonderful person and cool cousin to me in my formative years. Deb was always the life of the
event, albeit parties , anniversaries or any social gathering with a sometime
whimsical and goofy kind of personality. She has raised three great kids.
Debra Anne will be sorely missed by all those who got to know her well.
Deepest sympathy to Deb’s kids, immediate family and relatives.
God Bless you, Love Cousin Wade Clarke & Paula Somers
My deepest condolences to Debra Anne’s family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with Debra Anne and we quickly became friends. I will miss her thoughtfulness, kindness. She was sweet and always so helpful to me, a precious lady. She always had me laughing. She was fun loving and the world is a little dimmer without her light in it. Til we meet again sweet friend, much love Melanie Tober
I am so very to hear of Debra Ann’s passing. Please accept my most sincere condolences. Pamela had so many wonderful stories to tell us.
I was very lucky to have worked with Debra Anne for about a year at London Drugs. She was an incredible force of life and I’m deeply saddened to hear about her passing. My thoughts go out to her loved ones. I will for sure miss hearing all her stories and her laugh. Rest in peace <3
I became friends with Debra Ann as I was always shopping at London Drugs. I used to give her a ride home from work or from the grocery store, or she would call me in an emergency to take her to the Dr or Dentist or pick up a prescription.
Dear, dear Debra Ann, what a shock it was to hear of your death. It seemed like a month ago, we were talking about going to look at seniors housing. Seems like today you found a better housing elsewhere. I am deeply saddened about the end of your life. You carried such a heavy cross. Rest well my friend, lay your burdens down now. The battle is over. Your heart can now heal wholly. May angels sing thee to thy rest. Rest In Peace dear girl. My sincere condolences to Debra Ann’s children and her sisters and all her family that are grieving her loss. Looks like she is the first sister to leave the clan.

Debra, I am shock to hear your sudden passing away and still in a sadness mood. We were knowing each other for only two years at London Drugs. You always said “ it’s all good, (my name)” whenever I was unable to help with something you asked. I believe this time you still will tell me “it’s all good, (my name). It’s all good.” Miss you.
