Deborah Suzanne Dowdal (Dufour) age 67 of White Bear Lake, Minnesota; formerly of Woodbury, Minnesota, passed away peacefully from cancer on November 17th.  She was born to Charles and Donna Dufour on August 23rd,1953 in St. Paul Minnesota.  Deborah is survived by her husband James Dowdal, 3 step children, Siblings Linda (John) Madison, Steven (Kim) Dufour, SuZanne (Wade) Gillespie, Charles (Sarah) Dufour Jr.; and one amazing granddaughter Colleen.  She was preceded in death by her parents Charles and Donna Dufour, brother-in-law Jeff Anderson, and niece Hannah Dufour.

Deborah was so giving and loving to all, “always putting her love of her family and friends first” and always putting herself last.  The whole family benefited from her love, and she will be missed every day.  She was simply selfless.  She had an amazing faith and knew that she would be with Jesus and that gave her great comfort. 

A celebration of life will be held in the future.  Memorials can be made to Eagle Brook Church in Lino Lakes on her behalf.  She loved her church.
