Deborah Marie Rankin

Debbie was my cousin. We grew up in Stamford, CT, but, over time, we both moved away and, alas, never saw one another again. We both became newspaper writers and we kept in touch for a while but, sadly, that too, faded away. What I remember most was her sense of humor, her laughter. Deb was a lovely person.

Debby was such a strong advocate of all things important. She was also a devoted Corgi mom. All of us who own Corgis will remember her vibrance and enthusiasm and her love of her Corgis. We all will miss her at the next Corgi Walk in the Pearl.

Debbie and Larry always made time to during their walks in the neighborhood to stop by the HOA office and share their little Corgi with me. This simple act of kindness on their part meant a great deal to me, as Angus never failed to bring a smile to my face (and some days the only thing that would do was the love and wet kiss from a wee Corrigan, a fact not lost on the Rankins). This simple act of kindness on their part was also a reflection of the kindness I saw between Debbie and Larry....

May her light continue to shine and may your memories bring you peace.
I send you my love,
Gayle

I was terribly sorry to learn of Debby's passing. I always enjoyed playing tennis with her. She was a delight to be with.

It was so much fun to share tennis and exercise classes with Debby over the years. She always brought a little extra enthusiasm and 'mischievousness' with her. She will be missed!

I am so glad that I had a chance to know Debby. She was great fun to be with, and I will miss her mightily.

Michael,
I'm sorry I never met your mom. She sounds like my type of person. I know you will have many wonderful memories to keep her in your heart.
I'm so glad you could come to our seder and I hope we'll get together again this summer.

Yours,
Andra Georges

I am shocked and saddened. I always enjoyed talking with her when we were "spinning" together. She was bright, articulate and funny. I will miss her.
