She was such a sweet person. So sorry to hear this! She gave her cat Slippers to my son and she would come visit Slippers often. I also worked with her at Hardee’s years ago. My deepest sympathy to her family.

I want to say how sorry I am for the families loss. I met Debbie a few times and she was a very humble and loving person always ready to be there for whatever you need. My parents Roger and Diane Pitts lived by the boys in Elizabethtown. Larry and Dorance our thoughts are with you. Call me if you need to talk. Love and peace be with you. Peggy Heitz
My sweet beautiful Aunt Debbie ❤️ Oh my heart is broken. I love you. I miss you terribly already.
I remember when she would come get Yorkster with her client. They all loved it.
Debra had a heart of gold. She would always think of others first. She loved her family and her clients so much. You could just talk for hours with her about anything. I’m Play some Steven Tyler in your honor. Good bye my friend
Debra would often borrow my miniature Yorkie with her client, and have so much fun. I didn’t know her well, but from what I do know, she had a heart of gold. The world lost a beautiful soul, when right now that is what we need. Carry on in heaven, Debra!
