Debra "Deb" Kay Samuelson, age 56 of Grand Forks, ND, passed away on Wednesday,

December 19, 2018 at her home with her family by her side.

Deb was born on June 26, 1962 in Fargo, ND, the daughter of Charles and Theresa

(Brodeur) Pariseau. Deb grew up in Hillsboro, ND and moved to Grand Forks where she

married & eventually divorced Scott Samuelson. Deb spent her remaining years with her

loving spouse Todd Curran. She raised her children in rural East Grand Forks, MN and

worked various jobs. Deb was an independent spirit from a young age. She often

recalled her childhood and how she loved growing up at the lake with her brothers and

sisters, where she enjoyed waterskiing. As an adult, her free spirit and independence

helped her discover her love for motorcycles and the open roads they provided! This

passion led her to the Sturgis Bike Rally and many of her happiest memories causing her

to attend the rally many more times. Deb's independence and perseverance impacted

everyone she met which will be missed and loved by all.

Loving family members who survive Deb include her children, Nathan (Andrea Underwood) Pariseau of Grand

Forks, ND and Samantha (Nick) Hutton of Manvel, ND; 5 grandchildren, Shiloh,
