Debbie, wife, mother, grandmother, & great grandmother so beautiful, a very young, old soul. She loves soooo much! She loves music...she listens to all kinds of genre music. From R & B to country. She loves to dance, our mom would really "Get Down, Get Funky" as I remember her saying. She loves to laugh & have fun! A lot of memories but a fav was on a New Year's Eve, @ home celebration, our grandma & her singing "Jeremiah Was A Bullfrog" by Three Dog Night & at midnight beating wooden or plastic spoons on the pots & pans. They were having so much fun! She loves gardening & her outdoor/indoor plants. She has lots of plants at home. She obviously loves flowers but her favs are roses & star gazer lillies. She loves going 2 Disneyland & birds. I say birds because she loves The Tiki room @ Disneyland, it's a really cute show w/ birds, for those who don't know. Also, mom has had several birds at home during different times, sometimes at all times. Speaking of pets, she loves animals, she would take in stray dogs & give them so much love everyday until they passed...she loves every single one. She loves, loves, loves her Mandy, cutest little Yorkie. Mom dresses her up, OMG. We saw her recently, she definitely misses her mommy but dad’s taking good care of her. She loves old classic movies & shows. She loves the show "I Love Lucy" & collects all memorabilia. Her vintage kitchen is where she typically keeps them. She loves sports cars. She was "well taken care of" by dad & always had something fun. She luvs her 350z. She's so cute about this car, it’s her pride and joy besides her kids & animals…LOL. She works hard, whether at work or at home & as she's retired, she loves traveling & has been blessed 2 have traveled 2 many places w/ dad. At home, no matter where we moved, she always makes a home more homely & comfy. She's a handyman (egh em, WOMAN). She's always trying to fix something, air conditioner, plumbing, lawn mower...LOL. She luvs the holidays. Always decorating for Easter, Thanksgiving, Halloween (loves Halloween, especially the movie, it's like a family movie, for the entire family, aunts, uncles, kids), & Christmas. Lots of decorations! She loves her family. She cares for her husband selflessly. She remained at his side through a very tiresome, traumatic, & extensive brain tumor removal & a very long recovery process. She just keeps going. She loves her kids, even when it is hard to. Growing up, whether her step children or her own, there was no difference & we all are treated & cared for as her own. I remember an Easter basket my brother got at either 16 or 17 years old, and thinking ‘he's too old, I should take his candy’, I didn't but I was thinkin it...LOL. She loves ALL her grandchildren, all 16 grandchildren, she's so proud of each & every one. She loves GOD. She's a member of the 1st Presbyterian Church of North Hollywood. She sings in the church choir as well.
Debbie still gives selflessly, through everything she’s gone through, she shared of herself to make sure someone else will be able to also live a wonderful life!
We love you! Fly high w/ the Angels! Guide us, love us! Xxxoooxxxooo
