Her hobbies were bowling and a very deep interest for fishing (and usually out fished every one else). She also enjoyed Bingo, cruises, various computer games, reading and sewing. She also adored her cat, PRECIOUS, which was her mother, Betty’s, cat. She was very outgoing and loved her TV shows, CSI, NCIS ,and Ghost Stories. She even got her grandchildren involved in the Ghost Stories. She would spend summers out on the boat with the family, and then she bought a motor home which was used for camping with the family. She enjoyed listening to Elvis Presley. She took her Mother to Graceland to tour the home of Elvis Presley and had many happy memories with her mother during the trip. She won a Bingo cruise and was so excited she called her mother and told her to pack her bags they are going on a cruise. Her mother was so excited she couldn’t wait to spend the time with her daughter creating memories and going to places they never been. Hearing and seeing how happy Debbie and Betty were made us all happy knowing they enjoyed the quality time together.

She worked as a secretary for 16 years. She loved working at a convalescent home where she became the highlight of many patients She would take the time and talk to them and made sure they felt loved. Every Friday after work she would bring home Subway, which one of her daughters (Dawn) hates now. She enjoyed cooking and made a lots of meals from her mother''s cookbook. She was very close to her Aunt Betty who recently passed away. Aunt Betty, Aunt Pat and Debbie shared many memories and did a lot of work on the Family Genealogy. They reconnected with family from the family tree. She has left that to be finished by her daughters. She meant the world to everyone; she brought so many smiles and wonderful memories of her and the family. She is missed by many and we all love her very much and will forever be in our hearts! RIP DEBBIE ! Now you can fly high with your Dad and Mom as well as the rest of the Angels we have lost.
