A devoted, loving wife, mother, Nana, daughter, sister and friend. Graduate of Ross High in Hamilton. Former swim coach at Franklin High School and summer teams. Debby’s active life included running marathons with Team in Training for leukemia, training and completing a 10 mile swim/kayak competition with daughter Addie, hiking and camping. Debby’s passion for the beach was contagious! A DIY love had her tapping maples making syrup, sewing, canning, creating with a kiln and building with wood. A love for animals, especially her dog Rhett who passed with her. Debby’s love knew no bounds; everyone was drawn to her, friends were family.
No obstacle too great, approaching life with an attitude of winning no matter what life gave. She survived a heart attack, stroke, two bouts of breast cancer. Never letting any defeat her, driving her to live life harder, on her terms. An inspiration to all, touching lives of many. Debby is missed beyond measure.
