Debra Wagner Vincent (Wags), 71, of Geneva, Ohio passed away peacefully at her home on Friday, August 22, 2025, surrounded by her family.
She was born April 4, 1954, in Cleveland, Ohio to the late Henry E. and Rose (Hiti) Wagner and graduated from St. John High School in Ashtabula, OH and the Hairstyling Institute of Charlotte, NC. On May 26, 1990, she married William Howard Vincent in Lincolnton, NC and together they shared over 35 years of love and memories.
Debbie was proud to have been raised in Northeastern Ohio before moving to Lincolnton, NC where she lived for nearly 40 years before returning home to Ohio. While in Lincolnton, she put her hairstyling degree to use as the co-owner of Boger City Barbers and the co-owner of Vincent Hair Studio. She also had a love for jewelry design and was the owner/operator of Vincent Jewelry Design. In her free time, she was a volunteer for Meals on Wheels, St. Judes and many local benefits. She also loved watching scary movies, Halloween, listening to live music and dancing. However, her greatest joy came when spending time with family, especially her son and granddaughter.
She is survived by her husband, W. Howard Vincent; son, Ricky L. (Marybeth) Tackett; granddaughter, Bailey Marie Tackett; siblings, Donna Witt Snyder; Henry W. (Chris) Wagner, Steve E. (Ann) Wagner, Roni (Randy) Cotton and Danny J. Wagner. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.
