DEBORAH HANSON

It was a priviledge to know Debbie and a shock to hear news like this. In high school from Camelot to Oliver to choir Debbie always treated me with kindness, especially when I was fragile. I think that is how she treated everyone. It is inspiring to hear how she carried music with her through her life and shared it widely. The castle sculpture she gave me after Camelot is in my hallway today, a reminder now that just like in Camelot her shining moment was far too brief. My condolences...

To all of Debbie's family,

Words can not express the shock and sadness of this news. What an amazing friend she was. From our early days together at Tillman elementary...to our days at KHS...Debbie and I were dear friends, and those memories will never leave me. She was the "real deal". I remember to this day all of the countless "sleep overs" we enjoyed together. My prayers go out to all her family. May God keep you in his tender loving care at this difficult time. How blessed we...

My heart is heavy to learn of Debbie's passing. I remember her fondly from high school, she was such a beautiful soul and always had a twinkle in her eye. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am at a loss for words. Debbie was one of the nicest, sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. She was one of the first girls I ever danced with (at our 8th grade dance). I'm sure I said something dumb to her when I asked, but she was kind and sweet and danced with me anyway.
Even though I've not seen her in probably 10 years, she will be missed by me and my family (to whom I'm now telling stories).

I went to high school with Debbie and always admired her because she was so talented and beautiful, but she never let it go to her head. She was very sweet and kind. We sang in A Capella Choir together. I often thought about her over the years, and I will always remember the spectacular job she did playing Guinevere in Camelot. Prayers to Debbie's family.

I will never forget her spritely smile, or her kind nature or her wonderful talent. It was Debbie and others like her that sparked an interest in theater that I finally acted on years later. My heart goes out to all her family and loved ones.

We are former members of Kirkwood United Methodist Church and remember Debbie's great voice and talent. Our thoughts and prayers go to her family.

Debbie and I went to the same church and were classmates in junior high and high school. She was a sweet, gentle soul. She and I were in the KHS Players together, and she always lit up the stage. I'm so very sorry for your loss. She was a special person.

Debbie was always a sweet an talented girl. I have never forgotten her after all of these years and I always expected to see her name in lights. The world had lost a wonderful gift, however I am sure the angels are making room for another beautiful soul. With Love, Dawn Cross Ruehl
