Debby, RIP. You are still loved and remembered. You gave me a blue bracelet. I love it and wear it often.

I met Debby for the first time with Charles and Gaby in 1980 when I was studying at the Graduate Institute, St. John's College, Mexico. Since then we met often in Cairo and DC. All the members of my family, my parents, brothers, later my husband and my friends met the Butterworths on very many occasions.

Dear Debby, you are not forgotten, I still think about you every day,

I miss Debby, 'ma petite voisine' as I called her. She was a good and fun friend. She had a lovely voice, a great sense of humor and a great yearning for laugh and happiness. Her manners were of an other era, I savored it all in her company.

From high school to the present, Debbie was always a close friend to our family. A special person and dear friend. Rest in peace and condolences to the family.
Tom Moylan and family.

Debbie: You were such a very special person. I will miss you always. Rest in peace my friend.

I'm so sorry to learn that we have lost Debbie. She was such a wonderful teacher and devoted member of the GDS community. I will certainly miss her. Much love to Gaby.

Debbie's death was a surprise to me as we spoke by telephone a short time ago. We never did have that coffee date we planned.....and I am so sorry to have missed that time with my charming friend.

To her family: please notify Windjammers Unlimited so her circus band friends will be made aware of her passing.

Very sad news to learn of Debbie's passing. I knew her from the late '60s and '70s as a kind, funny, friendly and intelligent lady. She and Chuck were among the smartest couples I have known in DC, a wonderful hostess and great conversationalist. RIP
