I was lucky enough to work with Deb when I came to Manistee and found work at WSMC in 2007. We always had fun while working hard to give patients the best care possible. My sympathy to her family and friends. A kind, loving caring person, she was a bright light in a sometimes dim world. Deb will be missed by many

I am saddened to learn of Debbie’s passing. We were friends in high school at MCC. Life has a way of taking us on different paths. Unfortunately, we lost touch decades ago. I’ll always remember her great sense of humor. Prayers for comfort and peace to her family and friends. Rest in peace sweet lady. We will meet again.

Aunt Debbie

Your spunk,
your steez,
your humor,
your spark—
like magnets
in a toy chest,
reminding us all
to be ourselves,
to love without apology,
to feel deeply,
intensely.

How lucky am I
to have been a boy
walking up Farr Hill
with you, laughing,
smiling,
knowing
my life was so much brighter
because you were in it.

Our Dearest Sister:
It's impossible to find the words to say "goodbye." Our hearts hurt knowing we won't hear your voice or see your smile again. We'll miss your laughter, your strength and your kindness more than you will ever know! You made even the smallest of moments so very special. Thank you for the joy and love you brought to so many lives. The world feels a little dimmer without your presence, but the memories we have will shine bright and always hold a special place in our hearts. Rest in peace until we meet again. Love you always...
