Debra Lee Prazenka

of Lower Macungie Township

Debra Lee Prazenka, 69, of Lower Macungie Township, died Aug. 28, 2025, at Lehigh Valley Hospital — Salisbury Township. She was the wife of Stephen Paul Prazenka for 41 years. Born in Allentown, she was the daughter of Arlene S. (Walbert) Billger and the late William G. Billger.

She was a nurturing mother to her two children as well as a cherished Nana to her four grandchildren.

She was the heart and soul of her family, always there for every holiday, celebration or special moment, no matter how big or small. She never missed an important date, whether it was a celebration, a milestone or a time she was needed. Whether in person, with a heartfelt card, or a phone call, her love and thoughtfulness were always felt.

One of her greatest joys was spending time with her family, especially her young grandchildren, who brought her so much happiness. Her creativity knew no bounds. She could make just about anything and always managed to do it flawlessly. Her homemade pierogies and holiday gatherings were a highlight, eagerly awaited by family and friends.

Her nurturing spirit was reflected in her beautiful garden and the many houseplants she lovingly tended.

In addition to her husband and mother, she is survived by daughter, Lindsay Esola and her husband, Shane; son, Stephen W. and his wife, Stephanie; grandchildren, Wyatt, Madelyn, Dalton and Elliot; sisters, Audrey, Karen and Robin Billger; brother, William G. Billger Jr. and his wife, Laura.

A Celebration of Life will take place 2 p.m. Sept. 8 at Bachman, Kulik & Reinsmith Funeral Home, 225 Elm St., Emmaus. A calling hour will be held 1-2 p.m. before the service in the funeral home.
