Skip and family, I’m so very sorry. I was always thinking to myself how brave she was during her illness. She was such a great granny and was always with her family. I’m going to miss her as a neighbor and friend and Skip was the best caretaker ever.
Such a brave soul who battled fiercely! I know she will be best remembered as a loving woman: wife, Mom, Nana, etc all. Sending prayers for strength & peace along with hugs!
Nana—you mean so much to me. I cannot express with words how much this person, my nana has filled my heart with so much joy and hope in this world. My prayers go out to everyone in the family; no matter what happens the lord is always with us and never leaves our side. Love to all and every. 💗
So very sorry for your loss Skip. May Debbie rest in eternal peace. You were blessed to have such a wonderful partner and wife.
Skip and family I’m so sorry to hear of Debbie’s passing. She truly fought the hard fight. I so enjoyed walking with her at a Santa Dash several years ago. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Words feel entirely inadequate right now. Debbie was an extraordinary woman, and the love the two of you built is something that cancer cannot touch. Holding you close in heart and praying you find comfort and peace in all your beautiful memories.
With hugs and Love,

I had the pleasure and honor of working with Debbie for 25 years, and of calling her friend for 35. There was no one else like her. She was whip smart, hard-working, loyal, funny. Debbie always showed such initiative and a dedication to making sure that the things that needed to happen in fact happened, but she still managed to put her family first in her heart and her actions. Debbie was someone you could confide in any know that nothing would pass her lips. She called me “Just Joe” and I called her “Deborah Ann”. I loved and respected Debbie very much and feel privileged to have her in my life for so long.
So very sorry for your loss. At least Debbie is in God’s loving Arms!
I am praying for the family!
I will miss Debbie’s beautiful smile, generous heart, quick Witt and tender love!
I will never forget my beautiful friend!
On behalf of my late father, Ron Starkey, I’d like to offer my sincerest condolences to you and your family on the loss of Debbie. May God place His protective hand over you and your family during this time of grief. May she rest in peace. God bless all of you!
I am so sorry to hear this news. I will always remember her infectious laugh. Jocelyn, your Mom was an example for me of how many things a woman can do. I hope your memories bring you some comfort during this time. Sending all of the comforting vibes your way.
Debbie was a great lady who gave me great assistance through the early stages of my legal career. She kept everything organized when I couldn’t. I will remember her with great respect and admiration. She showed a great example to dedication to work and family.. She will be greatly missed..
Skip, Jocelyn, Brad and Emily,
This is such painful news. I am incredibly sorry for your loss. Debbie was such an amazing woman. Growing up with your family was truly an honor and some of my best memories. I will forever be grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with her. That laugh of hers will never leave my mind. She will forever be remembered! I love you all!
Truly a special person who treated my kids like her own grandchildren. She was wonderful to work with and I feel grateful I was able to be in her presence. Love and light to her family.
So Sorry, she fought a long fight!……Love You!

I am forever grateful for my long-time friendship with Debbie. Many years of history we had. I am going to miss her deeply and her Skip, Jocelyn, Brad, and Emily.
Prayers to all of you for peace and comfort during this time.
Skip;
After two other posts, I (amazingly) left every word said, and for once I’ll be brief: Yin and Yang. Never seen it more evident or obvious than with you and Debbie. I’ll see you soon my friend, and look forward to another Debbie story. They’re some of my favorite stories!
Skipperdoo – My heart is with you and your family in this time of sadness; may you find strength, light, and love in the memories of your beloved Debbie. Please reach out if there is ever anything I can do for you. Many blessings.
Dear Skip and family,
