My deepest sympathies to the the Holton & Merryfield families. What a sad discovery to learn my old high school friend had passed. I remember our times well from Audubon High days and will never forget her smile and laugh. Debbie always seem to make things fun no matter what we did. Every reunion I would see that smile again and that drive to make the most out whatever the night held! Rest in Peace Debbie...sorry to say goodbye so soon.

We would like to send our condolences. Ed read meters with Debbie for many years. Our daughter Corinne worked as summer help and she remembered what a kind, hard working and helpful person she was. I knew Debbie through Ed and whenever we would meet up we would have great conversation. God bless her soul!
