Deborah Ridge

Deborah´s beautiful smile and sweet spirit will always be remembered. My condolences to the entire Ridge and Orwig families.

I met Debbie shortly after I moved into my condo unit. I volunteered to decorate the lobby of our building for the holidays. I was curious when Debbie was wheeled into the lobby as I was working on decorating and asked if she could SEE the decorations. Her marvelous caretaker, Kim, wheeled her up to each decoration and explained to her their shape and color etc. as Deb was gently fingering each piece tenderly with the biggest smile on her face. When she was done, she said "Thank you for...

To me, Deb was an amazing woman. I came to know Deb in the last 6 years of her life. With every encounter with Deb I marveled at her strength to deal with her many challenges and still be so positive and happy and ready to laugh. She didnt let her limitations prevent her from contributing in any way she could to causes important to her and society. Deb was truly a remarkable woman. Marilyn Henderson

Deb was a high school friend of mine. We had our own gang of girls who went shopping every Saturday. Deb was always the life of our day. She had such a big heart and big smile. May her memory be a blessing.
