Still much missed. You were certainly one of a kind and the joy you were filled with - and shared - will not be forgotten. God bless you, Deb!

I am shocked to hear this news. Deb and I became friends while working at Kronos. She was always nice to everyone. A sweet soul that everyone liked. She will be missed by all who knew her. My deepest condolences to her soulmate Steve and her family and friends. Such a sad loss. May she rest in Peace.

I am in shock. Known Deb for about 25 years. She has been the kind of friend a friend should be, always. Clear back to her giving advice on me raising my kid. Wish I'd have got to see her more recently. Don't know what else to say, too sad to think right now. RIP Deb. You will be very missed.

Deb and I had a very special relationship always keeping our communication going and always in a very light tone. She showed me how happy go lucky she was and was always there for me understanding what life brought me. I am torn between loosing that bright light she was and one of my best friends, I will sorely miss her but one thing she lived such a full life and experienced probably more that she would of said. I will never forget her as long as I live and Deb you know how much I loved you as my friend and cherished everything we shared. You are an Angel now and will always be one. Steve I want to wish you and Deb
s family my condolences...

Six years ago I was going through a rough patch. Unemployed and feeling isolated I expressed my feelings on Facebook.Deb's comments helped lift my spirits and gave me new strength. There are no words to express how deeply saddened by her passing. My condolences to Steve, her family and all her many friends.

Deb was one of the sweetest people it's been my pleasure to know. I don't recall ever seeing her without a smile and her zest for life was unrivaled. Truly one of the "good ones" and someone who will be long missed. I'll join others in declaring that God must have needed another angel. Love and deepest condolences to Steve and her entire family. My heart is with you all!

To my best friend, always. The world seems a little darker and smaller today. Your amazing people skills and friendly outgoing personality. Funny how I'd be thinking something and you'd say it. Grateful I had you for a friend for so long. Every time I see an elephant knick-knack or piece of jewelry I think of you. I remember the times when we were young hanging out at your house w/ your baby brother, grandma, sister and Mom and Dad. Your incredible vault of recipes and photographs. Your ability to make everyone feel at home in your home all the time. Every memory I have will be cherished forever. Love you... Mary

I am deeply saddened to hear of Debbie's passing. We had many good times back in the day. My fondest times was visiting Debbie when her grandmother was home. We didn't speak the same language Debbie would translate. All three of us had the best times listening to Grandmas stories. She kept in touch throughout my time in the military her letters were always welcome. My sincerest condolences to Steve, Pauline, Harry and Cindy. Debbie you will be deeply missed. Ride on little sister.

I knew Deb as a quiet girl in Expository Writing class. We hardly ever spoke. Fast forward to today and Deb was a cornerstone of communication on Facebook. She was instrumental to sharing memories with old friends from BHS Class of '75. Living on the west coast Deb was a reliable source for many of us on social media and her work on all the photos from the 40th reunion has brought hours of joy to those old classmates that used to be 18 with their whole lives out there waiting for them. She was a generous and dynamic personality and a good friend from afar. I feel heartbroken for Steve, the family, and all of her close friends.

Somewhere, under a bluer sky, in a higher realm than where eagles fly, in a land of beauty beyond our knowing, with trees and flowers and waters flowing, with mountains of unearthly grace, our loving Lord has made a placeAnd one day, through an opening door, we find that glorious Evermore. May God Comfort You in your time of sorrow.
