Debbie was a kind soul and a friend to many. I will always remember being curious about what sports car she would have next! Debbie was a friend who always felt more like family. She will be greatly missed but memories of her will always bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart. Rest In Peace.
It is with such sadness that I say goodbye to my lifelong friend.
Debbie was such a big part of my life as well as those of my family.
I’ll miss the cribbage games,the visits, the trips together, the many rides over the years in her sports cars.
Most of all, I will miss the dearest friend ever. She is simply not replaceable. Rest in peace, Deb,you’ve earned it.
We are all so so sad to hear of Debbie’s passing. Can’t quite imagine not seeing her and saying hi and checking in. She was kind and sweet and her and Peter were wonderful neighbors to our parents. Our sympathy to all who knew and loved her.

We will all greatly miss you, sweet lady
Deb and I met at Oak Hill Grammar School. We became friends right through high school.
I have so many wonderful memories of our childhood. Deb and I shared those memories at a recent SHS gathering with a smile and a few laughs.
Being her friend taught me compassion and kindness. I’ll be forever grateful for her friendship and love. She was a member of the Oak Hill gang.

Deb and I were good friends. 6 of us had done yearly trips for 30 years. Our girls trip will never be the same without her. My heart is so sad for this loss. Lots of laughs, singing, clam dip, shopping, and great memories have been made. I will cherish them always.
So sad. Always counted you among my best of friends. Thanks for always being a rock in my life. Love and will miss you.
