Memories and Condolences
for Debra Lima

Not sure what to say?





I had the pleasure of getting to know Debbie when she worked at a hair salon in Marshall. We lost touch after she left the hair salon, and I am stunned to have just learned of her passing. Had I known, I would have most definitely attended her memorial service. She was so proud of her family and was so excited to spend time with her granddaugher! You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. She was such a caring and positive person; I am a better person for having known her.

Steve and Amanda I was stunned to hear that Debbie has passed, I worked with her at Dare products where we became good friends. I have great memories of things we did in and out of work. Though times passed and our contact was done threw exchanging Christmas cards I still considered her a great friend. Amanda, there was never a conversation we had that she did not mention you, she was always so proud. I am so sorry for your loss. I'll be thinking of you both and hope your well.
