Debbie was a dear friend and fellow naturalist at both Kirkmont Center and Miami County Park District. Her love of the nature and joy in living will be sorely missed.

My love and prayers go out to Debby´s children and grandchildren as well as her siblings. Debbie and I were first cousins and both born in 1950 only two months apart. We and her sisters played together at our grandparents home, the Boyd Farm, in Pike County Ohio. My dad, Glenn Boyd, and their dad, Sonny Lambour, were close like brothers and also played together as boys on the farm. Their paternal grandmother was my very special Aunt, Marie Boyd Lambour. I loved Debby very much and she was always special to me. I would love to have a copy of the picture of our mothers together holding us as new born babies as a keepsake. In Deep Sympathy and Love, Your Cousin, Susan Boyd Ferryman

I knew Debbie in high school and didn´t see her again until I worked at the St. Paris P. O. about 15 years ago. She was very happy and energetic. I enjoyed hearing about her life and her family. She was proud of her children and grandchildren. I´m so sorry that she has passed. I know her siblings, children and grandchildren will miss her. I´m sorry for your loss. Prayers
