I went to school with her daughter Gail. Gail thought the world of her mom. She was a very nice person. I always ran into her at J C Penney's when I came in to pay my bill. I always told her she never seems to age. Mrs Debnam always had a smile on her face. She will be missed by many. Now she is in heaven smiling down on us.
