OZARK…Mrs. Deborah Ann Cahoon Zodrow, a resident of Ozark, died early Monday morning, September 21, 2026, at her home. She was 71.

Celebration of Life Services will be held on Saturday, October 10, 2026, at the home of her daughter, 627 Robin Parker Road, Ozark. Friends and family are welcome to come together to honor her memory and share stories of the love and kindness she brought to their lives.

Mrs. Zodrow was a devoted grandmother whose family, especially her grandchildren, held a very special place in her heart. She truly cherished the time she spent with them and found great happiness in simply being a part of their lives. Whether it was spending time together, sharing a conversation, offering a helping hand, or making sure they had what they needed, her grandchildren could always count on her. Being their grandmother was one of the greatest joys of her life.

Mrs. Zodrow was the kind of person who was always looking out for the people she loved. She made sure no one in her family ever went without and was always willing to give whatever she could to help someone along the way. If there was a need, she did her best to meet it. She gave from the heart, never expecting anything in return, because taking care of her family was simply a part of who she was.

Her love could be seen in the everyday things she did. She cared deeply, worried about those she loved, and wanted to know that everyone was taken care of. Family meant everything to Mrs. Zodrow, and she showed that love through her kindness, generosity, and constant presence in their lives. Those who knew her will remember a woman with a generous heart and a loving spirit, someone who found happiness in doing for others and making life a little easier for the people around her.
