Deborah Fink Landenberg

September 4, 1947-January 6, 2026

Deborah “Debbie” Landenberg departed for her final journey on January 6, 2026.

Born in Cleveland, Debbie spent a majority of her life in Norwalk, but also lived

in Sandusky for a time. After graduating from Norwalk High School in 1965, she worked

at Rotary Printing and was a telephone operator for GTE. However, Debbie’s most

important career was as a mom. She spent much of her life dedicated to the care of her

daughter, Robyn, and she loved taking care of children, especially her beloved

grandson, Tanis.

Debbie was active in the Girl Scouts throughout her life, both as a scout and later

as a leader for several troops, including for students in her daughter’s special needs

class. She loved traveling, especially to anywhere with a beach, as she loved spending

time by the water. Debbie loved flowers and collecting things, but she especially loved

being around people. Her door was always open to friends and family.

Debbie is survived by her daughter Kellie Pancost and husband Brian; her

grandson Tanis Pancost; sisters Patricia Douglas and Barb Asmus and spouse Roger

Asmus, and sister-in-law Judy Fink; as well as several nieces and nephews including

Becky Burr Ducat. She was preceded in death by her husband William Landenberg,

daughter Robyn Landenberg, parents Robert and Sara Fink, brother Robert Fink, and

sister Marti Fink.

Services with be held on Saturday, January 17 at First Presbyterian Church in

Norwalk, of which Debbie was a lifelong member. Calling hours will be held from 10 am-11 am, with funeral service beginning at 11 am. Lunch will follow at the Norwalk Elks.
