Deborah D. Schaefer

Debbie's heart overflowed with love for her family, especially her nieces, nephews, and their children. She found joy in spending time with loved ones, adored shopping for them, and relished watching various movies and TV shows, with a special fondness for "Blue Bloods" and "The Equalizer." Her affection extended to her fur babies, and she was known for her kind and generous nature, always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. Debbie had a remarkable memory for special dates, meticulously keeping track of them on her spreadsheet, ensuring everyone received thoughtful cards for every holiday.
