      We would sit close to Debbie at church and when we didn’t hear something, (even though our hearing aids were in) she would tell us and we very much appreciated it. She was such a nice person and we enjoyed visiting with her. Sorry to hear of her sudden passing.
      You have our sympathy.
      Curtis & Dolores Ingram

      God has called one of his angels. Debbie was one of the strongest, bravest, most independent woman I’ve ever seen. Our hearts are sad, but at the same time at peace, because she’s no longer in pain. Debbie, we will always tell Lucia how much you loved her and the amazing person her Nana was! RIP.
