Outside of her career, Debbie enjoyed playing Pokeno and supporting Minos with his softball games. Tina and Trent recalled how great of a cook she was and loved her spaghetti, beans and homemade cakes. Above all, her greatest love was the legacy she leaves behind, her family. They will carry her beautiful smile and memories close to their hearts and forever in their thoughts.
