Just found this....I went to school with Dixie and Debbie Lemay (Washington High). Time sure has passed. I see a person with the same smile I remember in 1972! Both Dixie and Debbie and I road the same bus and I remember going to their home once...Sharon Prine-Quast

My heart goes out to Debbie's family, with special thoughts of Dixie and Nancy. Debbie was a wonderful person and good friend from long ago. It will be amazing to reunite with her surrounded by the glories of God in heaven some day.

It has been bothering me that this Guest Book was scheduled to be taken offline today. In memory of Debbie, I have donated to keep it online.
After the first of the year we are having a “Hero in the Community” dinner. Publicly, some of those whose lives she saved with her spirit and compassion will honor and remember her then.
I never thought this would happen (at least not in my lifetime). After all the research Debbie and Ron did as to what the best treatment would be, and all the trips to Arizona and Mayo Clinic, I believed she would conquer her disease and prevail. I especially thought she would be okay after seeing her on October 23rd and seeing her eyes open and that she turned her head toward Dixie and her Mom and seemed to clearly recognize them when they walked into ICU. For as long as I live, I will remember Debbie as this petite, smart, laughing, forgiving, sharp as a tack, sprite. I'll never forget her. I've seen her sick and not feeling well before, once very sick several years ago when still back at their Tule Lake Road home, but most of all I remember her as smart and energetic and full of life. The last time I saw her at her and Ron's house I got the biggest kick out of her and a friend comparing tattoos. We were standing between their dining room table and Dixie and Mike's incredibly beautiful statue of an eagle and Debbie and Holly started pulling up their pant legs and comparing tattoos and laughing. It was hilarious, and fun, and something I will remember very fondly.
God bless.
