Debi was born and raised in New Jersey. She lived in many places, including California and Arizona, eventually settling in Florida. After receiving her BSN from California State University, Los Angeles, in 1989, she joined the Air Force. She worked as an Operating Room nurse for 17 years, retiring from the military as a Major in 2006. Her nursing career expanded beyond the military to include oncology, surgical centers, and hospice. Debi loved all animals (especially her dog Freckles), traveling to new places, and spending time with family and friends. She will be deeply missed by her immediate and extended family as well as her many friends that were lucky enough to know her.
