Debra King

I just came across this site and now know why I haven't heard from or about one of my earliest friends. The little girl this little boy had a secret crush on. As she asked my advice about her crushes on Paul Sogol and others while inside I was secretly wanting to be her boyfriend. I was happy to be her friend and wish upon a star. I can remember painting her name on my bicycle. Rest steady my dear departed friend. Life wasn't always fair and you offered me health advice as I battled my...

Missing her has only begun. In many ways she is always here - with every quilt I see, with every kind word. The click of man jong tiles, the art and love in her homes.... and the fight for life, so brave and unstinting. Lucky that there are two stalwart daughters who carry that same sweet and strong spirit, along with her dear husband. You are a treasure, and your good lingers. - Robin S.

We are deeply thankful that our daughter Ava got to be part of the DKS during her preschool years. Debra's kindness and wisdom graced us all, especially during particularly difficult moments for our community. We're holding her, and her sweet family, in our hearts during this difficult time. She will be greatly missed.

I'm thankful to have known Deb from Debbie to Debra to Deb. She loved to laugh and create and share. I will think of her often and hope to stay in touch with Dennis and Kate and Laura.

In my mind's eye, I will always remember Debbie walking down the hall in high school with Judy in their embroidered jeans and clogs. Sisters who were always together. Two beautiful, kind girls, loved by everyone, who would grow into beautiful, talented, caring women, wives, mothers, and career women. Rest In Peace, Debra, and condolences to all those who love her.

My daughter turned 21 last month. She started her education at Debra King School. We stayed in touch for years. The life lessons, good parenting, love and compassion that Debra believed in and shared are things we have never forgotten, just as we will never forget her. A remarkable woman. Funny, smart, kind. Peace to her now and to your family.

A wonderful woman and mother and community member. Sending condolences to all who loved her which I am sure are many. I am glad Debra touched my life.
