Debra A KillEagle

Debra Ann Kill Eagle, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, aunt, grandmother, and longtime resident of Dodson, passed away Sunday evening (September 20th, 2026) at Benefis Hospital in Great Falls, Montana. 

Debra was born to Sarah (Fox) Kill Eagle and the late Leslie Kill Eagle on December 12, 1957, in Fort Belknap, Montana. She attended school in Harlem, graduating high school in 1976. She held various positions within the Fort Belknap community and working as a bartender.  She also provided childcare for numerous nieces, nephews, and grandchildren. She created lasting memories with the many children she helped care for throughout her years. 

Debra was known for her natural talent at the pool table and quickly gained a reputation as a skilled and confident player. Her strong competitive spirit and steady hand earned her recognition as a true pool shark, and she was known to hold her own against some of the best. Her love for the game reflected her spirited personality and her enjoyment of time spent with others.

In 1995, she met her beloved spouse, Justin Rasmussen, at the Labor Day wagon train celebration. Their meeting began a special chapter in her life and a relationship that would remain an important part of her story.

Debra is survived by her children Jessica (Jeff) Stiffarm, Jacob Wilson, and Sarah (Pat) Ditmar; her mother, Sarah Kill Eagle; and her siblings, Frances (Milton) Werk, Rebecca (James) Clark, Wes (Iris) Kill Eagle, John Kill Eagle, Joey Kill Eagle, and Ramona Wing.

She leaves behind her grandchildren, Corbain, Mason, Emmitt, ArrowLyn, Melony, Lindsey, Emily, KJ, Asher, Amora, Alyceia, Aliyah, Kaiden, Kaile, Jarah, Jaileigh, and Jacob Jr.

She was blessed with eight great-grandchildren: Aleise Wilson, Izaiah Wing, Violet Wing, Kazely Koen Main, Mikkel Vernon Main Jr., David Joshua Main, Haistyn Jorge Granados, and Estevan John Granados Jr.

She is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews, including nephews Chad Wing, Jeremy Wing, Wesley Kill Eagle Jr., Clayton Kill Eagle, and Cash Kill Eagle, and nieces Tricia Werk, Roberta King, Rochelle King, Tara Kirkaldie, Lisa Werk, Francine Kill Eagle-Stiffarm, Randi Cole, Deserae Kill Eagle, Josephine Azure, Shawnee Kill Eagle, and Shania Kill Eagle.
