Deb loved the outdoors and was an avid animal lover. Whether it was enjoying the ocean, the views from her home or bird watching, Deb enjoyed the beautiful scenery that surrounded her. She also like to shop but above everything Deb cherished and loved her family, especially her beloved grandson, Brandon. She will be greatly missed.
