A TRIBUTE TO MY SISTER

Debbie had a unique and playful personality, always gracious, easy-going, humble, compassionate, fun-loving, captivating, and kindhearted. 

Her creativity was limitless. She could walk into a store, buy a few items for decorating and turn that space into a unique one-of-a-kind room. Often, she came to visit me, we would go “SPEED SHOPPING.” She would look at the room I wanted to decorate, and off we went shopping. She would go down the store isles and say, “buy that, buy this, and this, oh and that;” and then we would go back to the house and she would decorate it. All within 24 hours! Of course, she wouldn’t let me do anything but watch. If she would have chosen to, I’m sure she would have made a living as a sought-after interior decorator. 

She also had a talent for dancing and performing. That was a fun time in both our lives to be able to dance together (she was in her late teens and me my late twenties). We used to perform with a group of our dancing peers in hotels on the beach. We thought we were going to be dancing queens!  Then we would look at our dancing videos and laugh at ourselves… Ah, then reality set in, but it was a fun ride for both of us. 

Debbie had a deep love and devotion to her family and friends. She was always a good listener and had an unusual understanding of the of both sides of a situation.  
 
These words are for you, baby sister

A snow-white butterfly flew down on my shoulder yesterday and whispered that I was loved.

As the dandelions shed their tears in the breeze, I celebrated your life.

The sun still shines, and the moon still rises.

Baby sister you live on everywhere I go, everything I see, and every turn I take.

Your joy for life transmits wherever you took your smile and the sparkle in your unforgettable eyes.

I will always miss you and you will forever hold a special place in my heart. 

Your strength, bravery, and love showed as you cherished life to the very end. 

You will always be my amazing baby sister.

WE ARE SAME-SAM

Dear Debbie, 

Departures are always the hardest.  We do not know at which life station we ourselves will step down.  It has been a privilege to know you; always kind with a smile of your face.  You will be sorely missed.

But today we are celebrating you life!   We will always remember the beautiful young woman with her long blond shiny hair with Max at her side.  

May we be blessed with your light from the above.

Charlie, Chris and Michael I am so sorry for your loss. Debbie was such a kind heart. She was the example of perfect mom and wife.  You all are in my prayers.  

Debbie and I have been friends since 4th  grade, we were 9 years old and little did I know she’d be the best friend I ever had, she was more like my sister. I have so many fond memories of the times we spent together which there were so many.
We talked on the phone every day and when we got older and had our families she would always call asking me for recipes or questions about raising kids
She was the one person in my life that was always there for me and never judged, She had such a big heart and was such a loving and caring person I’m going to miss her so much 💔
I  Love you Debbie and I’ll never forget you, I’ll hold onto those beautiful memories of the times we shared together until I see you again one day,  RIP my friend, I Love you Always ❤️❤️

I am so saddened to hear of this great loss. We were neighbors from Cooper City and our boys played baseball together. Debbie was such a happy and warm person. Sending our love, prayers and hugs,
Heidi and Manny Pubillones

While I didn't get to see Debbie very often, when I first met her she immediately touched my heart as such a kind, giving and loving person.  Her unwavering support and love of Bonnie when Joseph was so ill and when he passed away was what we all hope and pray for in a sister and friend.  I continued to stay connected to Debbie primarily through Bonnie, and grew to love her spirit and how continually brave she was as she fought valiantly through all her medical challenges.  I now pray for peace and comfort for the family, and know that, with time, their fond and loving memories of Debbie will help heal their hearts.  And, Debbie, I see your bright glow in the heavens, and also take comfort in knowing you are no longer in pain and are at peace.  

My oldest and dearest friend. Debbie was an amazing person. She always had my back, even when we were kids and I'd get her in trouble. I will miss her terribly. My love goes out to her entire beautiful family. I love you forever. 💙

Dear Bonnie, we are so very sorry to hear of the loss of Debbie,  It is  so hard to lose someone you love so much. Please know that you all are in my thoughts, prayers and heart.Love from the Mucci and Haslam family.

Little Deb, 
We are so grateful to have had someone like you in our life, you meant so much to us all. I know God put you in a special place, (with an incredible outfit and shoes)  where you will be watching over us, the people who loved and cherished you!
Love,
 Big Deb

Debbie you'll always be our great friend and neighbor from Cooper City!  What a warm, wonderful person you are  and what a loving wife and mother you've always been to Charlie and your family. Trips to the beach, dinner outings, neighborhood BBQs, holiday get-togethers, it was always the same - your radiant smile lit up the room and your fun sense of humor just made you a joy to be around. You're with the angels now and we're blessed to have been a small part of your life. Love, Chris & Joy, and the Tully Family

Charlie and family, 
     It was unbelief when I learned of Debbie’s death. I so prayed that she would get well. Charlie, stay close to the boys and family. It helped me tremendously to have Jennifer close by when Claude died. Know that we all love you and will be praying for you and your family in the days and months ahead. 
                                       

Debbie-I remember you coming to our house the 1st day we moved to Hialeah. You were just a little thing. You you said "I was wondering if you had any girls to play with and I said yeah I have 4".  Well you were very happy to hear that. With love, Miss Coe

I am so saddened with the news... I truly loved Debbie, she was a gem.  Charlie I know you will be lost.  Please let me know if i can do anything so ease your burden.  I am sure Deb is in the arms of the Angles.. God Bless you all.


I don't know where to start. We are the same age and grew up next door to each other. So the memories are many and all good. You were definitely one of the best of us. I mean we had our moments when we didn't get along but who doesn't, you were like another sister to me. The times in school, working at Transit. Going to Colorado. I just can't fit them all. Just know you are loved and in my memory. Love, Tina

Debbie was truly an angel. My husband, Mike, and I were visiting Debbie and Charlie the weekend my father passed away from Alzheimer’s .  Having lost her own mother to the disease, Debbie cried with me, held my hands, laughed at the memories I shared and hugged me tightly. I can’t thank her enough for the comfort she gave me in my darkest moment. Debbie, we love you more than words can say. 

Michelle and I knew Debbie when she worked for our Dad in Hollywood, Florida.  She was truly an angel sent from HEAVEN as she unselfishly and constantly contributed to the scheduling and guidance of all the Jewett family.  She was such a blessing through the years and I know all of the Jewett Family will always remember her as part of the Family.
