I met Deb many years ago when we both worked in a local bank. She was a true professional and a caring, devoted friend. We had fun whenever we were together. Deb was always positive and upbeat (which helped me since I don’t always possess those qualities). We went through many of our personal ups and downs together; always supporting each other. Beautiful inside and out. I’ll miss you always. MJ Young

It seems like only yesterday that Deb and I attended Assumption. What great memories I have and will always cherish. I am so glad I reconnected with Deb in the last few years. She will be missed. Sending all my love and prayers to her family.
