Debra Annette Philbrick Wood

Debra Annette Wood, a beloved daughter, wife, mother, sister, teacher, and friend, passed away on April 16, 2026.

Debra was a sweet and wonderful woman who loved her family deeply and devoted her life to helping others. She was a special education teacher who loved children and made a meaningful difference in the lives of those she taught. She was devoted to her church and her faith, which guided her life and the love she showed to others. She carried a quiet strength and a deep devotion to her son, always putting family at the center of her life. She will be remembered for her kind heart, gentle spirit, and the love she gave so freely. She is now free of pain and at peace.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Gary Philbrick and Lora Lou Grammont Philbrick, and her husband, David Wood.

She is survived by her son, Caleb Wood. She is also survived by her siblings, Terri Duncan (Steve Duncan) and Robert Philbrick (Glenna Philbrick), as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family.

She is also survived by her nieces and nephews: Tyler Duncan (Linsey Duncan), Emily Turbyfill (Noah Turbyfill), Matthew Duncan (Mikayla Duncan), Zachary Duncan (Julie Duncan), Brooke Philbrick, and Garrett Philbrick; and great-nieces and nephews: Breylon Duncan, Rowan Duncan, and Asher Duncan.

Debra's memory will be cherished for her love of family, her dedication as a teacher, and the lasting impact she made on those closest to her. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her love will continue to live on through her family. Her last gift was the selfless act of organ donation, giving others the chance for life and hope.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
