Debbie loved NASCAR racing and enjoyed going to Franklin County races with her two sons. She also enjoyed concerts at the Salem Farmer's Market with her sister. Her favorite program on television was Judge Judy. Debbie worked in the nutrition department for Roanoke County Schools for many years. She never turned down a cold Dr. Pepper.

The family looks forward to seeing her again, the Bible promises a resurrection at John 5:28,29.

"Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life.
