Debbie was such a very special lady! Full of love, fun, self awareness, loyalty….I could go on and on. Her relationship with my grandchildren will never be forgotten. She loved them so much and they loved her! Her faith did not waver all the way through to the end. Her example of living an exemplary life should be emulated by everyone.

Condolence from Carol & Cortnie Thompson on July 17th, 2019 9:46 am

Debra made others’ lives better intuitively! She was so strong spiritually that she was able and quick to give just what others needed, not putting herself first. She was especially kind to my daughter, Cortnie, who Debra recognized was gifted with computers and allowed her to work in her lab which made Cortnie feel quite accomplished. We will ALWAYS be grateful that God placed Debra alongside Cortnie – Cortnie loved her!! Debra was a wonderful person. Our hearts go out to all of you!!
Carol & Cortnie Thompson

I had no idea she had passed away. I had lost touch with her after leaving Region 12. I can recall her face and voice as if I had talked to her yesterday. God please continue to bring comfort to Debbie’s children.
