Obituary of Debbie Haines

ST. JOHNSVILLE- Debbie P. Haines, 63, of Klock Rd, passed away unexpectedly on July 14, 2012 at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center with her loving husband at her side holding her hand. She was born on February 6, 1949, at Coney Island Hospital, Brooklyn,: daughter of the late Kenneth and Veronica (Finnegan) DeWitt. On June 29, 1991 she was united in marriage with George R. Haines in the town of Brunswick. On June 25, 2011 Debbie and George renewed their sacred vows at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in St. Johnsville with the Rev. David A. Johnson officiating. Debbie graduated from Connetquet High School on Long Island and furthered her education through the years with a number of Home Health Care Service Certificates. She was employed in Home Health Care for years in a variety of positions and settings. She was Vice President of Haines Dairy Transport for 10 years and after suffering from a stroke she retired from the NYS DDSO after 9 years of employment. She was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, The St. Johnsville Senior Saints and the Lasselsville Senior Citizens. She also loved being a member of the Stonecroft Ministries Bible Study. Her husband George and her two boys: William (Billy) Kirchner and Eric C. Olsen were her deepest loves and joys. She loved the farm on Klock Rd. and considered it her earthly piece of heaven. From city girl to riding horses, feeding baby calves and taking walks through the open fields with her dog Bucky, she quickly became a country girl. She enjoyed traveling, taking numerous trips with George and the Senior Saints and meeting new people. She hugged her family, friends and even strangers and felt comfortable talking to absolutely everyone. The words "I Love You" flowed from her lips over and over again each and every day. She was small in stature but 10 times taller in personality and love. She is survived by her husband George R. Haines; her sons: William (Billy) Kirchner (41) and Erik C. Olsen (31); her siblings: Ken and Mary DeWitt of Schenectady, Candy Miller of Long Island, Timothy and Lee DeWitt of Long Island, Florence and Kevin Chilton of Long Island, June and Fred Kix of Long Island, Mona and "Spud" Ward of Florida and many beloved nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. She is also survived by her beloved pets: Bucky , her black lab and Smokey, her cat. The family will receive relatives and friends at the Enea Family Funeral Home, 9 Center St., St. Johnsville from 11am-1pm on Saturday July 21, 2012. A brief religious service will be held at 1pm with the Rev. David A. Johnson officiating. Procession will follow to St. Johnsville Cemetery where she will be laid to rest. In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations in Debbie's name be made to St. Paul's Lutheran Church. Envelopes will be available at the funeral home.
