From an article (with corrections) from Nov. 8, 1978 issue of Spokane Chronicle, Spokane WA.
Tekoa, WA ~ Final services are planned at Tekoa High School for Deborah Kay "Debbie" Fuchs, 17 the newly crowned Tekoa Junior Miss for 1979, who died Sunday evening in a head-on collision two miles east of here on State Route 274.
The Rev. Dan Wetzler will officiate at the rosary tomorrow at 7 p.m. Father Wetzler and the Revs. John Fox, John Connelly, David Mercy and Robert Haworth will officiate at the funeral Mass Thursday at 10 a.m.
The Chronicle yesterday incorrectly reported details of the accident which took her life.
A Washington State Patrol spokesman, correcting that account today, said Miss Fuchs' car collided with an oncoming car driven by Michael W. Allen, 21, DeSmet, Idaho.
The Spokesman said Allen was driving at a high rate of speed and attempted to pass a semi-truck and trailer driven by Keith Berntgen, 36, of Oakesdale Wash. Allen's car struck the rear tires of the trailer and entered the east bound lane, colliding with Miss Fuch's car, the spokesman said.
...A lifelong resident of Tekoa, Miss Fuchs was born January 22, 1961, in Spokane to Neil and Nell Fuchs of Tekoa. Besides Mr. & Mrs. Fuchs at the home, she is survived by three brothers, Kenneth, of Spokane, and Paul and Neil Jr. "George" Fuchs, both of Tekoa; sisters Denise, Julie and Kitty, four uncles, 12 aunts and numerous cousins.
She was a member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church of Tekoa, the Catholic Youth Organization, the United Youth Group, and the Tekoa Grange No.1011. She was a past president of Future Homemakers of America at school, president of National Honor Society, an Associated Student Body council member, a member of the foreign language club, a varsity cheerleader last year when she was a junior, and she was active in the school band, pep band, drill team and girl's athletics including volleyball, basketball, and track. She was president of the Tekoa 4-H chapter, 4-H camp counselor for Whitman County, and a 4-H home economics exhibitor at the Palouse Empire Fair and Spokane Junior Livestock show.
The Debbie Fuchs Memorial Scholarship Fund has been established and contributions are being received by the Tekoa Branch of the Seattle-First National Bank or Mrs. Phil Gumm.
Burial will be in Goldenrod Cemetary here.
