Tim and Berson....
Debbie was one very special Lady. I worked with her years ago at RRD, and also had the honor of working with her as a realtor/client. she was unique and beautiful inside and out. not many people realize those qualities in a person. she was lucky to have you as well as you were to have her. my prayers are with you. I will never forget her.

Every time I think of Debbie I see her as that golden haired, tanned girl with an infectious smile, wonderful drawl, and wonderful dry sense of humor. Everyone who ever met Debbie will never forget her. May her family find solace in knowing she will live forever in the memories and hearts of everyone who knew her.

Tim and Berson,
My husband had the pleasure of attending school with Debbie. I know my father was related to Gertie, so I'm not sure if I was a second cousin or what. We are so sorry for your loss, and will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Tim & Berson,
When Debbie & I were young girls, about 10-12, we went fishing a lot. We loved it. We went to the south pond & when it was time for dinner, Mom (her grandma) would come to the barn gate & holler her famous yell. After the second yell, we knew we better get to the house or we would be in trouble. Also, on Sundays, about every Sunday, Donnie & Gertie, Dale, David, Debbie, & Darryl would come over to our house after church for Sunday dinner, as would a lot of the other families. We would watch for them out the window & yell where they were at "They're at the 121 curve, they're at the stop sign, they turned", but by then, Jim, John, Joe, Jerry, & I would be running down at the end of the field to meet them. We would get to the apple orchard & have to turn around & run back to meet them at home. We always had plenty to play baseball & make home-made ice cream. Of course, after we got older, we had to cruise Lincoln in Charleston. Drive around the square in Toledo. I even went to CHS one day to visit her. Met some of her friends & had lunch. I'm sure you have heard that she used to put shaving cream on Donnie while he was sleeping & she would take a feather & tickle his nose so he would rub the shaving cream all over him. She would laugh so hard. She loved playing pranks on him.
If you ever need anything, I'm here.
Love you both,
Sheryl

I was saddened to learn of Debbie's passing. I remember her quite well as well as the whole family when my father pastered at the Weselyan Church in Janesville and we had stayed in touch a little after I had graduated from high school and college. She is now in heaven with her loved ones and my father and daughter feeling no more pain. May God and his angels wrap their loving arms around you in this time of sorrow.l

Tim & Berson,

Debbie was one of the most caring people I have ever known; always concerned about everyone else. She never complained about her illness. Debbie will certainly be an Angel in heaven.
