She loved gardening anything and everything from flowers to fruits and veggies especially her strawberries and raspberries. She always wanted to make things beautiful. Her garden was filled with love and everywhere you looked there was always something amazing going on whether it was the front yard or backyard. From flowers and veggies to cool nick knacks and hanging wind spinners.

Debra loved camping and would go every weekend if she could. She enjoyed fishing even if she didn’t catch anything and her campfires were her favorite thing! She could sit outside and burn a fire for hours.
