So sorry to her family and friends. Debbie was the sweetest lady. Ive known her since i was a small child. Debbie use to be my neighbor when I lived in mcclellandtown as a child to a teen. Our house was directly behind hers and she was the nicest neighbor.. I loved visiting her and still loved seeing her throughout the years when she was at Walmart, i would be working and she would always stopped to talk to me. She will be missed.
