My condolences to Debbie's family, I meet Debbie in Jr.High School in Tucson, we became good friends, she was always so sweet and beautiful. In high school spent some nights at her house. We would stay up all night talking and laughing, and talked about boys. Lots of wonderful memories of our time together. Was able to reconnect at class reunions, she was just still so sweet and kind, and loved her husband Hank and the family she had. She really loved her little buddy Tanner. And enjoyed the time with him. I miss her already..I will try to come to her celebration of life on November 8th. She will always be a place in my heart for her..Love you my friend..

I have so many fond memories of Deb from our time at Sahuaro High School. She was the sweetest & kindest gal that everyone liked & that's a real rarity. She & Hank bought my beloved Fire Engine Red '73 Dodge PowerWagon 4x4 & kept it for 40+ years. I'm honored to have known Deb & am so saddened that she's no longer with us. Rest in peace Deb, we'll all SHS friends be seeing you again!
