Ray, Brooke, Jesse, the Wells and Slayton Families-
I am so sorry for your loss. As a young teenager and athlete growing up in Stowe I looked up to Deb. Her smile, her warm heart and her many talents, how could I not. I hadn't seen her since I left for college but she left an ever lasting impression on me. I have no words for my sadness for this situation and hope that one day you find peace and know that she was a light to so many. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Deb was such a shining light that will continue to shine in the memories of all of us who knew her. The warmth and laughter she shared with those of us that grew up with her will always be remembered. I feel so lucky to have so many memories of playing field hockey and basketball with Deb, but also just those everyday memories of growing up together. My sincerest sympathy to you, her family on your loss.
My thoughts and prayers are with you today and in the days to come.

Deb began her 18 year teaching career at Hardwick Elementary in 1989 and followed with stints at Hyde Park, Eden and Cambridge Elementary Schools. Numerous other jobs followed until she found the position she truly loved, Athletic Trainer at her alma mater, Stowe High School.

A testament to her love of athletic training – after Deb sustained a fractured foot last winter she continued to fulfill her duties while on crutches. No one will soon forget the sight of Deb sitting in a chair and having the chair pushed across the ice at Stowe Arena so she could attend to an injured hockey player!Deb was most at peace when she could be active in the outdoors, whether it was running (including 10 marathons), hiking, downhill and cross country skiing, softball or just walking the trails at a very special private property in Morrisville. Deb is survived by her husband Raymond, son Jesse, daughter Brooke; her mother Jean and spouse Andre' Bourdeau; her 4 siblings Darleen Slayton Hemphill, Michael Slayton and partner Claudia Cusson, Mary Slayton Speer and husband Greg, David Slayton and partner Babette Deuss; nieces and nephews Amanda, JT, Alison, Chelsea, Joseph, Natalie, Christian, Kaitlynn, Daniel, Carson, Sydney, Hunter, Hannah, Ethan, Rebecca, Olivia, Alana and Logan. She is also survived by her beloved golden retriever, Hagrid.
