Debra was a Certified Nursing assistant and loved what she did, and the people she cared for.
Debbie, as she was affectionately known by all, loved her cat Starla, and her dogs Rex and Buddie. She loved going to the casino, and traveling with her husband Wayne. Debbie had a robust personality and would love to give you a hard time while making you laugh! She could cut you down to size and make you feel special all at the same time. Her amazing sense of humor and her love for people made her many hours volunteering at Beth Haven a blessing for all she came into contact with. Most of all Debbie loved her family and counted all her nieces and nephews as if they were her own children. She will be greatly missed.
