Debra Jean Higgins

I remember first meeting Debi. I was a new Christian. She and Danny had just moved to our town. And became a big part of our church. Debi and I were close sisters at Beth-El in Jersey City. We were in our 20´s.
I just found out today that she passed way. What a shock!!
I pray peace over her children and grands. And God´s grace to continue loving and caring for people.

My condolences to the family. Debbie and I talked and shared prayers and songs over these past months. When I reached out to pray for my sister in ICU she was on it but i did not know the stage she was in. We shared many laughs and fun times, I will always remember her smile. Thank you God for sharing her with me.

DEBI was one of a few people who made me feel welcomed when I joined SDA back in 1990. I remember several sabbath Meals, outings and play dates between our children. She had the most beautiful smile and calming spirit. She loved, laughed, and lived. I will never forget you.

After choir rehersal, she and Gene on the organ, ans she on the piano used challenged on old songs, and we sing along into 8:30 to 9:30 on Friday(Sabbath) evenings. Will be truly missed, but always remembered. LOVE to the Family!!!

May God comfort you during this time of sadness, May you find peace in the sympathy expressed by your friends and loved ones.

Debra was a member of our breast cancer prayer group on Sundays....she had such an amazing smile....sending prayers and condolences to her family

I met Debra in a cancer group on line. Fighting the same battle I started a prayer group for support and she joined it with us. We prayed for each other in this group. When she shared her photo the tears feel because she and her smile reminded me of my sister who I had lost years prior to breast cancer. I often looked at her picture to be reminded . I and the other in our group will miss your company and prayers for us. Till we meet again you are well in the Lord. Blessings and peace and to all that knew her I pray the same for you.

Debbie was such an warm and loving person her smile could
Light up any room when she entered always had a kind word
Was one of the best piano players that my church hired we all LOVED her but God LOVED her more
Rest My Friend

Her poise, always jovial with an infectious smile! Watching and listening to the sisters sing and the harmonizing was always a blessing! Beautiful times at Northside! Fond memories.

Debbie and myself have had many conversations together at Berean and I don't want to go into details but our conversations were meaningful and clarity on things! I love to hear her playing the piano and when she gets excited bouncing up and down on the keys!

I remember hearing Debi, play the piano . She really enjoyed playing for the Lord. Her fingers would effortlessly tickle those keys while have a beautiful and bright smile while she played.... I´m going to miss her beautiful smile, laughter along with her big personality.

My sweet girl, sharing our battles as well as our victories will remain with me forever. Love you, would have held on to you tighter and longer before you left my home last time. Always in my heart daughter (child).
Love mommy Julie

Third grade at FH Jenkins Elementary. We were always getting in trouble. Lol. Either talking or arguing. You see we were both very strong willed. I have always thought of Debi as a close friend.

My condolences to the entire family. I first met Debbie and her children at Berean Seventh Day Adventist Church in St. Louis. I have memories of her musical talent of playing the piano with so much passion and professionalism. May GOD bless and comfort her sister Dana and her children David, Dionna and Daniel in their grief. Praying for all of you. Much love.

Our prayers and condolences are with you Diona, David, Daniel and Family. May God´s strength, love, peace and comfort be with you. You all are forever in our prayers. Queen, Tanica, Candas and Niciah

Diona, Makayla and Amirah its difficult to put into words any level of comfort when the matriarch of the family leaves this earth and return to our heavenly father. Just know that assuredly she understood the assignment and there´s no more pain. Peace is her journey now, her face is your face Diona. Never forget the memories of her voice, laugh and the warmth of her tough. My condolences, sincerely,

Shedding piano - might not have told her how much those memories meant to me. Learnt a lot from her
