Debra Erle-Phelps

Joe, Ryan and Aashna, Chris (Digger, as Deb called him) and I are shocked and saddened to hear of Deb´s passing. We have so many good memories of Deb, riding her bike to the library, swimming here, a trip to the cape and so many more. She was a thoughtful and fun gal. One of a kind, Deddie

Joe, Ryan we are so sorry for your lose. Deb was a wonderful person always had a smile for you. Kevin & Jaimee Boehme

Dear Joe and family, I was deeply sorry to read about the passing of Deb. Her obituaries was beautifully written. She sure gained her wings!! May the fond memories that you all shared, along with family and friends, bring comfort to you. She will be your angel watching over you. My prayers and thoughts are you. Love, prayers and hugs ,

Deb was a volunteer at The Smith for 15 years along her husband Joe. She was witty and smart and she became family to me and others. She will be forever in our hearts and deeply missed! Love you Deb. Forever Will Askin

What a smart and caring woman. Deb had a graceful gentle quality which was balanced by her brave unflinching stance for injustice. She was supportive when I was sick. We volunteered and enjoyed shows and gatherings. My heart is with Ryan , Gary and the family during this trying time.

Deb was a smart,caring,real type of person. She was a sincere defender of many types of injustice. She was my friend. Deb supported me when I was sick. We volunteered together. The world felt her positive and pro active contribution to it. My heart goes to you Ryan and Gary.

Let´s not forget that Deb also loved to dance! She loved music, books, dancing, and making beautiful things. She left the world a more beautiful place, and I will miss her.

To my sister.. we had great times together from six years old till now I still can´t imagine my life without you! Thanks for sharing your life with me!! Love you sister Deb Schrier Barner

We lived an interesting life together! We had fun, memories and a great life, hopefully we will meet again! Love you sister Deb!!
