The Clergy, Executive Board, and Members of St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church express condolences to the friends and family of Debra Rodich Zoumis. Memory eternal.
Debra Rodich Zoumis
Debra was born on October 22, 1961 in Gary, Indiana, the daughter of Pero and Violet (Medich) Rodich.
Debi graduated from Hobart High School in 1980, and then earned a Bachelors of Science Degree at Indiana University. Debi loved music and most especially loved Sting. Her devotion to her favorite rock star was as legendary as the singer himself. Her love of music led her to work in the music industry in a variety of jobs, from managing Sgt. Roxx, a local band from the late 20th century, to working briefly at WXRT.
Debi finally chose to make a career in the financial departments at Ivy Tech and The American Academy of Art in Chicago. Debra was also a long-time member of the St. Sava Serbian Orthodox Church.
Some favorite memories of Debi include her amazing culinary talents. Family and friends enjoyed many delicious Thanksgiving meals around her table.
Debra is survived by her daughter Nikki Zoumis; brother, Eli (Arleen) Rodich; sisters, Marcia (Charles) Crnoevich; Anica (Djurica) Marjanov; nieces and nephews, Michael Rodich, Nicholas (Carol) Steen, David (Sara) Rodich, Jeffery (Jill) Steen, Charles (Cydney) Crnoevich, Alexandra Crnoevich (Jackson) Huemer, Matthew (Mia) Steen, Viera Marjanov (Joel) Mora, Stevan (Monica) Marjanov; and many great-nieces and nephews.
