To Deborah's family: I also knew Deborah from the Austin downtown YMCA and she was a delightful person, and an excellent pilates instructor. She will be missed!

Dede added a lot of spice to the lives of those around her. We were all richer for her presence and are poorer now for her loss. She is now in a better place.
May she rest in peace. Jerry and Ann Casstevens

I have such fond memories of Deborah. She had the best, dry sense of humor, keen intelligence, and was such a wonderful instructor. I will miss her and am sending loving thoughts to the family.
