Debra Diane Ward, age 60, passed away Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019 at Joplin Gardens in Joplin, Missouri after a long and amazing fight with cancer.

Deb was a woman who knew no strangers. If she could, she would have given you the shirt off her back or a place to live. It didn't matter what it was, she would figure it out for you. Deb always enjoyed the company of people.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Vivian (Patrick) Kosp; step father, William Jack Harper, Jr.; and a stepsister, Missy Harper.

Survivors include three sons, Billy Fillpot and his wife, Oronogo, Aaron Fillpot and his wife, Carl Junction, and Eric Fillpot and his wife, Webb City; five grandchildren; one great-grandchild; her father, Donald Dean Benefiel and his wife Pauline, Carthage; two half brothers, Doug Benefiel, Carl Junction, and Dustin Benefiel, Carthage, along with their wives and children; three stepbrothers, Scott Harper and his wife, Jeff Harper and Kenneth Harper and his wife; and a stepsister, Regina Harper and her children.

A celebration of life was held Thursday, January 10, at Webb City Senior Citizens Center.

Arrangements are by Midland Cremation Society of Joplin.
