Debra's family was everything to her and she enjoyed long talks on the phone with them, and, although hampered by blindness, loved crocheting blankets, especially to give to her grandchildren. A special bond existed between her and her grandchild Levi and, having a shared birthday with her grandchild Angel was another joy in her life. All of her family, and friends too, will remember her as having more than just a spunky attitude that was an endearing quality of hers. She enjoyed going to bingo and listening to country music.
She missed her late Toy Chihuahua "Peanut" which was her pride and joy.
