Debi had a career in the cosmetic industry for almost 20 years. She owned several Merle Norman cosmetic studios in the St. Louis area. She was well liked by all of her customers and was always willing to help with anything they needed.
Later in her life she became a secretary for a business called Automation Technology Inc and that helped her spend more time with her family. After doing that for almost 20 years she decided to volunteer her time at Hazelwood West Jr/Sr. High School where her daughter attended.
After retirement she still spent time volunteering at the High School. She met many other parents there and made some new friends. When at home she enjoyed watching her St. Louis Cardinals on TV and playing card games on her phone.
