Debbie also raised three great-nieces and helped raise 8 of her grandchildren, all of whom she loved dearly.
Debbie was a very loving woman and mother, her family was her life. She always looked forward to the summer months, because her grandkids would always come and spend the summer with her. She was always happiest when they were around.
Debbie also loved to travel, especially to the ocean, where she loved being on the beach. She received a lot of pleasure from reading, watching the birds, her flowers and collecting Barbie dolls. May she finally rest in peace, in that big garden.
