  1. I’m so sorry. I enjoyed working with Debbie at the Hancock County Sheltered Workshop.

  2. My cousin Debbie & I spent a month in Vegas, at my wonderful Uncle Sam’s house, after my graduation years ago. We had the best time. I’m sorry to hear of her passing. May she rest in eternal peace. Your cousin Vicki Arnett Gilles

  3. Anita and Debbie’s family: I so deeply sorry for your loss. Another ‘neighborhood angel’ gone. I haven’t seen Debbie for a while but when we did run into each other she always had a smile on her face. So young but no longer in pain. My prayers are with you all at this time.

  4. Very sorry to hear of Debbie’s passing. She was a friend of my sister, Kathy, who passed away in December. It’s tough to lose them. — Steve Delekta
