One of a kind. She was sweet, caring and very spirited, which I loved so much about her. We had some very fun times together. She was married to my brother for many years. We were always family, that never changed, she was my sister, and I loved her dearly. For health reasons of my own, I will not be able to attend the services, but I will be there in spirit. Will miss you girl, until we see each other again, I love you.

Debi, You were the best supervisor I ever had in the medical field, it was an honor to work beside you in Hospice, you showed me so much kindness that I had not encountered much in the workforce, especially in the medical field. I finally read Mother Teresa’s No Greater love, the book you provided each of us one day in hospice back in 2015. I re-read your inscription you left in the book for me, every now and again. Thank you for all you have done for this world. We lost an angel on Earth. You will be missed.

Debbi was one of a kind. She always had a smile on her face and some great story to share. Her big personality and character will be missed deeply at the hospital in Russellville, AL. May she rest in peace. May the arm of comfort and healing surround each of her family members in this difficult time.
