Our fondest memories are of Mount Carmel days, sock hops, the trip to Washington and New York and past reunions. Debbi was a beautiful person inside and out and we will always keep her in our prayers.

Over the years, I would run into Debbi when I was visiting family in Wichita. It wasn't until this last fall that I called and talked to her about her illness after hearing about it from one of our sorority sisters. At that time, Debbi not only asked me to be tested, but inspired me with her up-beat attitude about life. Those of us who knew her were lucky to have had her in our lives!

To The Family:
I was so sorry to hear about Debbi. As a Delta Gamma sister, I will always remember her vivacious smile and laugh. She was so much fun and always thoughtful of others.

"Phil, Clinton, Zach, Kelsey & all whom Debbi loved…condolences for your loss.
Phil, Zach & Kelsey, these few short years we’ve been neighbors seem much more in part because of Debbi’s neighborly warmth, caring and openness. She was a very loving, giving person & will be very missed by a great many people. May God comfort you all with your memories of her and the warm, loving time you shared.
If there’s anything we can do for you in the days & months to come, it’s only a doorknock or phone call away or a “hey, neighbor…” away."

Phil and Family,
I will always remember Debi as the best person I've known. She was so sweet, always positive and she always pointed out the best in others. She had a priceless sense of humor without being cruel. For the last three years, she sounded so perky and full of life...just as she was in college. If anything that I'll remember more is her testimony—her belief in Christ and the strength she displayed coming through the power of prayer. Yes, I will miss Debi tremendously. I'll always picture her with her beautiful smile, quick wit and her laugh.

I was sorry to hear about Debbi. She had a long and hard struggle. I first met her at WSU and later at Boeing. She always was upbeat and seemed to really care about people. Your family is in my thoughts

I had the pleasure of working with Debbi at Boeing, and was always impressed with the way she lit up the room with her charm and energy. She made me laugh, and always impressed me with the warmth and love she shared with others. The world has lost a very special person.

Phil,
It has been nearly 20 years since I worked with Debbie and her spirit and joy of life is still with me. Rembebering our golfing outing in Angel Fire was another highlight with you and Debbie. You will be in my prayers during this sad time.

Phil and family,
Debbi was one of the first people I met when hiring in at Boeing in 1978. She was always so cheerful and such a pleasure to know and work with. At your wedding I remember she was the most beautiful bride I've ever seen. She just glowed! I know she was a blessing to all who knew her. You are in our prayers. May the Lord surround you and comfort you and your children in this loss.

Debbie has always had one of the most remarkable spirits and capacities to love and accept others. We have known one another since high school. Although we never maintained communication beyond our reunions, she was always one I wanted to see and catch up with! My condolences to each of you in this time of mourning.
