Remembering Debra on this 2nd anniversary of her passing. My association with Deb at LVHN was an exceptional experience. She was the biggest champion of our Charitable Fund and always willing to go above and beyond... and with a smile. Even when the weather didn´t cooperate with our events, she maintained her can do attitude and gave her best. Deb was a beautiful soul and is missed dearly. Hugs, Susan Christine

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I just found out about Deb's passing. I had sent her text messages over the holidays and didn't receive a response so had a bad feeling that this had happened.

I met her when we both worked at MCCC. She was a kind and gracious person and became a good friend. We kept in touch over the years and she was in my prayers. She will be greatly missed. She is at peace now and free from her illness. God Bless you!

I first met Deb when my daughter and I visited Ursinus college. She was the first person we spoke to about the college, and I remember telling my daughter that if everyone was half as nice as she was, it would be a great place for her to spend her time for the next 4 years.
Over the years, we would occasionally have lunch and she would attend my daughters' plays, etc. She even made an appearance at my birthday party a couple of years ago, even though she must have been quite ill at the time.
Our hearts go out to her family, her daughters and son, The world was a much better place when she was in it. I know my life was richer when she was in mine.
Susan, Abbie and Kristin

My prayers are with all of you. She loved all of you so much.I just heard of your Mom's passing and wish I'd heard sooner so I could have attended her celebration of life. I tried to reach her a couple times recently and was hoping my feeling was wrong. We texted a bit during the past year and I was so hoping she was going to be ok. She was one of the kindest people I ever knew. She came to our home a few years ago and we had such a nice time catching up. I know she is in a better place and no longer suffering. Sincerely, Michele Steinmetz
