Debbie was in our class of 1967 at Highland Park High School, Topeka, Kansas. She was truly beautiful with an awesome smile. She was unable to attend our 50 Class Reunion Anniversary and planned to come to the next one at 55 years.
May our Lord hold her in the palm of His hand. She was a blessing to friends, family, sorority and her church.

You will truly be missed. You were a great role model and supporter of all of you students. You taught us to be individuals and go hard for everything we wanted.

More than a teacher and coach, you were my friend. You made a profound impact on my life, I wanted to be just like you. I take comfort in knowing that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Fly high my friend, I'll see you when I get there. My condolences to your family.

I first met Debbie in the late 70s through our teaching career and my sister knew her from the mutual daycare they took their children. Debbie was so beautiful inside and out and many of us looked up to her. Debbie was most proud of her family and the many students she loved teaching. May her memory be forever eternal.
