Debbie was an angel on this earth, as she is sure to be in Heaven. She gave to others until her last breath. After death, she continued to give as an organ donor. She loved others with unlimited Grace. Stories will be told for years to come as she gave in silence without return expectations. She was the best wife, mother, family member, and friend. Everyone lovingly, by her choice, referred to her as "Big Deb". She was a registered nurse and practiced in many areas but had a special calling to and had a soft spot for mental health and most of all the patients who had nobody. She was a lady of many talents and hobbies which she excelled at. She was a golfer, an excellent cook and a self taught artist. Debbie was also an avid exerciser and sports enthusiast. She really enjoyed saltwater fishing off piers and for flounder, where she never met a stranger. She was fond nature, always pausing to appreciate God's work. She loved to garden and more than anything loved others with a servant heart. She was known to pick up hitchhikers and was likely to feed and clothed them as well. She was brilliant and an expert in the stock market. A proud American, Debbie was very patriotic. Debbie was reunited with her Savior on Monday, May 8, 2023.
