Debbie was a beautiful person inside and out! We worked together at Macy's Hamilton for many years. She was extremely professional, dependable, and one the "best-dressed" ladies you ever seen. Debbie touched many lives and will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family and friends.

Rieger/Roller Family: I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Debbie was a very beautiful, vibrant and intelligent lady who's life was cut so unfairly short. I played tennis with Debbie at Madden's / World Gym for the past 10 years. She was a joy to play with and a good competitor. We had a lot of great times on the court and I will remember her with fond memories.
