I used to work with her. I just found out about it and her spunk, spirit, and attitude are sorely missed. RIP Debbie. I will always treasure our times at the Sid together.

I feel incredibly blessed to have called Debbie a coworker and more importantly a friend. Debbie had the warmest heart and was always so easy to talk to. Her contagious personality made everyone around her feel welcome. You could come to the office in a bad mood and instantly be in a better mood because of her friendly smile and conversation. We loved to share stories and pictures with one another of our pups, and were proud to call ourselves "crazy dog ladies". Debbie spoke of her children often and I know she loved her family so so much. I can't imagine the loss your family is feeling right now but know that Debbie touched the lives of so many people. She will be missed so much by everyone who was lucky enough to know her and call her a friend.

Not everyone has the opportunity in their lifetime to meet someone who they know they'll never forget. I feel fortunate that I had the opportunity to meet and know Debbie. Her humor often made my day better. Knowing her made my life better. I'll miss her.

Dear Reese, Philip, and Katharine,
We mourn with you in the loss of Debbie. She and I shared young-mom experiences together at church when sons Philip and Wilson were young. We lost touch after went to different churches, but saw each other again during another event there. I remember her as a beautiful young woman, both inside and out, and a devoted mom and wife. She was such a wonderful person, and know that she will be dearly missed. Wilson lives in Japan now, but also sends his deepest condolences, esp. to Philip. May God bless and comfort you as only He can. Debbie is with Him now, and for this, we rejoice even as tears are shed. In deepest sympathy,
Iva and John Campbell and family

Reece & Family: My deepest condolences to you all. I knew Debra, (at Northside High) though we weren't close friends I had always admired her and I shall remember her as a perfect little lady, cordial and elegant. May the Lord bless you all with the Holy Spirit to comfort you in this time of sorrow.

I don't even know what to say except she was a sweet Lady. Our kids went to Alice E. Carlson and that is where I met her. Phillip and Marcus were good friends. So we became friends. We lost track of each other once the boys went to different schools. I always knew that I could pick up the phone and that it would be like we just talked yesterday. She was an awesome Lady and she will be missed. To her Family, I am so sorry for your loss. You were all blessed to be a part of her heart.

When ever Debbie walked into a room, she always had a funny story and a hug to give. I loved her quirky sense of humor and her genuine warmth. Every time I see a chunky candy bar I will think of Debbie (our joke). She is missed and will always be missed, but when I think of her I smile. To Debbie's family.. it was a pleasure to work with Debbie and to know her. She had a way of caring about the people she knew. When she talked to you, she really listened. She was a true friend. I am extremely sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained an angel.
