Debbie left this earthly life to go to her heavenly home. She was a beloved sister, aunt, great-aunt, and friend to many. She had a giving heart and a compassionate, loving soul. Most of all, she loved the Lord and was a devoted Christian.

She was a volunteer at Meals on Wheels, Maggie Society, and gave generously to many other organizations that were dear to her heart. Family was so important to her and she was always there if Aunt Debbie was needed. 

Debbie was very active; she loved the outdoors be it working in her yard or taking long walks. She had great compassion for animals, and as we all know, her dogs lived a grand life. She loved music, dancing, and enjoyed laughing with friends and family. She was a self-proclaimed “gym rat” spending many hours working out at her favorite place, the Y.
