Debra Diane Archer
April 4, 1956 – September 17, 2025
Debra Diane Archer, age 69, of Eustis, Florida, passed away peacefully on September 17, 2025, surrounded by loved ones.
Debbie was born on April 4, 1956, in Paoli, Indiana to Bill and Louise Tuell. Debbie wore many hats throughout her years—working as a homemaker, factory worker, house cleaner, and most proudly, serving in the local school as a lunch lady and janitor. Debbie touched many lives with her hard work, kindness, and the pride she took in caring for others.
She loved the simple joys of life— going to yard sales on weekends, spending sunny days in the pool, tending to her flowers, and enjoying the company of her family and friends. Above all else, Debbie adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy and pride to her life.
On May 17, 1973, she married the love of her life, Frank Archer, Sr., who survives her. Together, they built a beautiful life and raised three sons: Frankie (Rachel) Archer, Chris (Autumn) Archer, and Adam (Kylee) Archer. Debbie was a cherished grandmother to Kourtney, Gage, Micayla, Lauren, Wesley, and Mikynlee, and a proud great-grandmother to Adelaide, Everleigh, Ruger, and Brynleigh.
Six sisters and one brother also survive her: Jean (Pete) Ruby, Vickie (Gerald) Nelson, Patty (Keith) Condra, Rex (Vicki) Tuell, Jodi (Randy) Jones, Lisa (Steve) Pate, and Billie (Tony) Evans. Debbie leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews, all of whom held a special place in her heart.
Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Louise Tuell; two sisters, Barbara Tuell and Carole Chastain; and one brother, Bo Tuell. Debbie is also preceded in death by her beloved dogs, Millie and Mollie.
Visitation will be held at Dillman Scott Funeral Home in Paoli on Sunday, September 28, from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with a private burial to follow on Monday. Casual attire is welcome, as Debbie would have wanted everyone to feel comfortable.
In lieu of flowers, we kindly ask for donations toward a headstone for Debbie and Frank. Donations can be sent via Zelle to rachelarcher@msn.com.
