RAPID CITY- Deborah A. (Deb) Heinle, 54, Rapid City, has gone to be with God on Monday, May 9, 2011 at Golden Living Center- Prairie Hills. She was born July 26, 1956 at Bennett Clarkson Hospital in Rapid City. Survivors include her parents William J. Bill and Florine Burke, Rapid City, one sister Danee R. Akason, Rapid City; one brother, Dale W. (Bernadine) Burke of Thompson, ND; 3 nieces, Danielle , Rockiel, and Cherelle Akason, all of Rapid City; one nephew, Cody W. Burke, and one niece Amber L. Burke, Thompson, ND; two aunts, one uncle, and numerous cousins. Deborah had a very successful and good life, despite her heroic battle with M.S. most of her life. She moved to Bismarck, ND in 1971, with her parents and siblings. She attended Bismarck High School and graduated in 1974. She began her career with Woolworths during High School and was promoted to assistant manager during the two years she attended Bismarck Junior College. She then transferred to Williston, ND in 1978 and became manager of the Woolworth store there. She met Dale Heinle there and they were married on May 29, 1982 in Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Bismarck. Dale and Deb had a country western band and played many places all over North Dakota. They even played at Rimrock Community Center on New Years Eve. That life she enjoyed tremendously, ended for Deb, when M. S. took her ability to entertain. Dale and Deb were divorced in 2005 and she moved back to Bismarck for a short period of time. She then came to Rapid City and became a resident at Golden Living Center, Prairie Hills, on January 18, 2006. Deb will be remembered by all who knew her as a fierce fighter against one of the most horrible diseases, M.S. The family wishes to thank the staff at Golden Living Center Prairie Hills for the wonderful care, support, and love they gave Deb, through this challenging time. We know she is with her Lord now and her suffering is done. A celebration of her life will be on Friday, May 13, 2011 at 10:00 a.m. at Osheim & Schmidt Funeral Home with Pastor Pat Karn officiating. A memorial has been established to M.S. Society.
