My prayers to Debbie's family.I remember her from Norwood High, I lived around the corner from her and she was always so caring and nice and made me feel included
since I was the new kid at school. May her family and friends find peace and cherish her memory.

For many years, Debi was a regular volunteer at our food pantry.

She served our clients with a smile, with grace, and with such dignity.

She quietly came in almost every week and did her 2 hours of heartfelt community service and then went on her way. So many of the regular clients had developed a bond with her. She always watched for the children, keeping their "goody" basket full and offering a treat to each child who came in.

I am so sad that she is no longer with us. I will truly miss seeing her on Saturdays.

May this sweet person rest in the comfort of the Lord.

Rest in peace, Debi.

So sorry for your loss. Deborah had many more years ahead. May you find comfort in knowing that God's Son felt the pain and sorrow that death brings after the death of his friend Lazarus. John 11:35 He gave way to tears. We weep along with you.
