Deb was well received for her presentations at numerous Florida Bar conventions. She served on several committees for the Real Property Probate and Trust Law Section of the Florida Bar that serves the citizens of the State of Florida.
Her love for college football was deep. The Michigan State Spartan's was her number one team. She also enjoyed sailing and flying with having her private pilot's license.
