Five siblings Brenda Sharkey, Susan Lutton, Melanie Lutton, Steven Lutton and Greg Lutton. Debby’s life was complete and whole with her dearest friend and soul mate Sandra Langley.

Debby was born on July 23, 1955 in Ronan Montana. She was extremely dedicated to her work, a leader among her peers. Debby worked for Valero for 20 years. Her career was first and foremost in her life. She was a dream employee, consistently going that extra mile, literally driving thru a hurricane to get to work. She always said that the best part of her job was to give away smiles all day because they didn’t cost a thing and you would never run out of them. Her grandchildren brought the most enjoyment to her life. She gave them the moon and stars, which didn’t even come close to all that she wanted to give. She loved them so much, and wanted so much to experience everything possible with them. Debby truly was the head of our family, leading by example, inspiring us to be the best that we could be. “Can’t means you don’t want to” was her favorite quote. The one thing that she loathed was being told that she couldn’t do something. When someone felt it was impossible, she was right there to prove them wrong and encourage them. Her greatest quality was showing others, that anything was possible, if they really wanted it. Her strengths were her integrity, compassion, dedication, her selflessness, and trustworthiness. It was as natural to her as the air we breathe, it was in her DNA. God truly broke the mold when she was created. Her death is excruciating in its intensity. She is loved more than words can describe and will be missed by everyone who knew her.
