Debbie was the middle child and grew up in Pawling. She graduated from New England College and then pursued and graduated, with honors, a degree in Occupational Therapy.

Debra was a cancer survivor and after completing rigorous treatments, was declared cancer free in 2000. She went on to encourage other cancer victims until very recently.
She will always be remembered for her love of animals, travelling, needlepoint, and her friends and family, especially her niece and nephews, and her selflessness. “Our lives are fuller… Because we had you in our lives.”
Eyes have not seen, nor ear heard, the joy that
Awaits those who love Him.
