Debbie cherished attending concerts and listening to music, especially the band Yes and James Taylor. She found joy in caring for her grandchildren and valued peace and quiet. She was known for never speaking badly about anyone and always being kind. In her free time, she was drawn to the beach with her family, loved the holidays, and enjoyed her soaps. Debbie was also an exceptional cook, capable of creating amazing meals out of simple ingredients. Professionally, she worked as a dental hygienist for 30 years. Debbie was a long-time member of Highland Gardens Baptist Church.

A special thanks to the Montgomery Cancer Center and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society for the wonderful care given to Debbie.
