Her pleasant personality and smile was contagious to everyone she met! She was a family oriented, animal loving, kindhearted human being. Her faith in God was strong and she would help anyone or anything in need. Debbie loved spending time gardening, taking pride in her flowers, feeding the birds, and squirrels. No animal that came into her yard left hungry! Debbie was also a huge Beatles fan. She would sing and dance every time she heard them!
