Debra Landmark

Debra (Rasmussen) Landmark, 67, passed away on May 21, 2025, at Sanford Hospital in Bemidji, surrounded by family. She was born on November 13, 1957, in International Falls, MN to Eugene and Joyce (Olson) Rasmussen. Debra graduated from Falls High School in International Falls in 1976. Following graduation, she attended nursing school at Rainy River Community College and Brainerd Community College where she earned her registered nursing license.

Debra met Steve Landmark and the two united in marriage on September 17, 1983, at First Lutheran Church in International Falls. Debra spent her life serving others and placing their needs before hers, right up to the end. She spent most of her career working for Koochiching County Public Health where she served as a hospice and public health nurse. She made long lasting friendships with her co-workers that carried over into retirement.

Debra enjoyed quilting, reading, tending to her flowers, and spending time with her children and grandchildren, who were recipients of many beautiful quilts and blankets that were made with love. She enjoyed spending time outside walking, camping, and spoiling her children’s dogs with walks and treats whenever they gave her the puppy dog eyes. Throughout her life, whenever there was a sporting event, school event, or other activity she was always there supporting her family.

Debra is survived by her loving husband of 42 years, Steven Landmark, son William (Abbey) Landmark, daughter Christa (Derek) Clark, daughter Kirsten (Cade Harmel) Landmark, mother Joyce Rasmussen, brother Gordon (Therese Bzdok) Rasmussen, sister Sandra (Scott) Laundenslager, brother Wayne Rasmussen, nephew Kyle Rasmussen, niece Angela (Anil) Upreti, nephew Dayne Rasmussen, great nieces Nicole and Karina Upreti, and great nephew Lucca Rasmussen. Debra is also survived by five grandchildren, Declan, Brecken, Lena, Emilie, and Henry who provided much joy and energy in her life.

She was preceded in death by her father Eugene Rasmussen, grandparents, and numerous uncles, aunt, and great uncles and aunts.
