I worked with Debby at Grove School when I was hired as a young Speech/Language pathologist many years ago. I have many fond memories of her and our conversations. I can still hear and remember her voice. She was a wonderful person, gave great advice, and was an excellent, knowledgeable social worker. Debby was always in fashion and dressed impeccably, beautiful outfits, hair, and makeup. Her inner beauty always shined through with her grace and strength. She was a special woman. May your happy memories help to ease your loss. May G-d grant you peace and comfort. May her memory be for a blessing.
Fondly, Tammy (Reich) Katz

Debby and I worked together at Grove School in Northbrook for many years, and she was one of the most popular persons! When there was a child who needed special attention, Debby would come into our room......and SHE was the star! "Mrs. Tucker! Mrs. Tucker!" The children LOVED her! Your Mom was a wonderful person, and I was pleased to have had the opportunity to know her.

Shelley, Lori, and Steve - My most sincere condolences to you and your families. Your mom was always one of my favorites, from our early " Capture the Flag" days in our our backyards, to the wonderful conversations she and I shared when she would visit me at Trabert & Hoeffer. A profound loss. Sending my love.
