Debra entered our Eastern Star dinners as a smiling wisp of energy. She attended several months announcing her intention to join us as soon as possible. I was blessed by then Worthy Matron Nancy G. to become her Big Sister. Less than 3 weeks later she actively participated in our traditional (40+ year) Chicken Spaghetti Dinner helping in our Country Store which garnished over $400. She was a whirlwind of smiles listening to each and every story teller. We met several times in the following weeks where I answered her questions about what we did to fulfill our promises given at the altar, what she should do for next year due to start in two months. Unfortunately, she broke bones and could not participate as she wished. Her exhilaration for life will be missed. DUE TO DIFFICULTIES, HER SERVICE HAS BEEN MOVED TO AUGUST 24, AT 1 P.M.

Debra was my most recent little sis in Eastern Star. I learned so much from her love of life...Penny had more toys than I have...Debra jumped into Eastern Star with enthusiasm helping at our 40+ year traditional Chicken Spaghetti Dinner a scant three weeks after she joined. She was a delight. Unfortunately the EASTERN STAR Memorial Service has been moved to August 24th at 1pm

She is my sister and she was a very kind person to everyone. She loved animals so much just like I do. She loved to tell me about when I was little and how she took care of me. I will miss her

Debbie said the most positive, uplifting things!!! She made me smile. I was always impressed by her absolute devotion to her family and friends. We shared a bit of a wild side, yoga, physical fitness, Indian food, sunbathing, and animals. My world is a better place because she was part of it.
