Missing my good buddy Debbie today. Can’t believe you have been gone a year already.  Hope you are finally getting some rest. Love and miss you everyday. Keep an appt open for me.  Love your little Buddie Suz

I was able to get to know Debbie a little bit while working at Nouveau. She had such a fun personality, she was very sweet and caring and really helped to make me feel comfortable in my new environment at the salon. It was always very clear how much she loved her family. She will be missed. 

Dear Chris and family, 
Rembering as block neighbors on 25th ave. Our kids growing up together. Such a beautiful girl. Sharing your loss as we loved her too.

Debbie “best hairdresser in town” cut my hair for 44 years-like everyone said she was so much more than hairdresser she was truly a friend-we laughed so hard .  To her family she so loved you all.  Till we meet again Debbie-will miss you so

Chris and family,   My heart is broken for you, your family and all of Debbie's friends.   She will be missed.   The obituary was a wonderful picture of how she lived her life.   Well done!   She will be missed by so many.   She was so "up" with us, her customers.   She had been styling my hair for 35+ years.    I considered a friend and looked forward to my time with her.   She loved her family so much and was so proud of each you.    God Bless you all.    Betty Root

Debbie's laughter and her zest for life will live with us forever.

Chris and family, my deepest condolences to all of you, may you find comfort in your love and memories.
I met Deb, as many of us have, through her love and talent of doing hair. I have gone to her for 42 years...we have shared the birth of her children and the birth of our grandchildren and great grandchildren. We have laughed, cried, hugged, shared our troubles, and laughed some more. I will truly miss her and our talks, that smile and hug. She had talent that many of us enjoyed, and she will be missed . 
May the Good Lord bring you comfort and peace in this difficult time.

We received a shocking texted that Debbie had passed away. I have been trying to imagine her pain. I am so sorry for Chris and her family. Debbie was always a bright light in the world. We go way back to the Village Beauty School  45 years  ago together then working at the Gazebo. Debbie was one of my bridesmaids in mine and Jamies wedding.  We had some great times together and so many laughs. I will always remember her for her beautiful smile and infectious laugh. Rest In Peace my dear friend. You are now in the arms of our loving  Father. 

We met in your mom's kitchen when you were about 15 or 16 years old. You wore a red blouse that was as bright as your sassy personality. You went on to make many friends- a true legacy to the fabulous person you were. Of course you did my hair but that wasn't the best part, even though you did a great job. It has always been that bright personality. Our visits had me laughing. Not sure how you could keep up that endless charm, but you were the same every time I saw you. How I will miss you, my friend. Your leaving us too soon has left a void for many who loved you. I know you would tell me not to be sad, but I am. Much love....

Deborah was a wonderful mother to everyone who counted on her to be their mother whether it be hers or others. She was so beautiful inside and out and will never be forgotten. I know god has her in his grasp. May she rest in peace and be with all who knew her always!


This special lady was an icon in the Hairdressing Community.  She was innovative and so good to Clients .  We will all miss her smile and chuckle so, until we meet again. . . . 

Deb was my hairstylist on and off for many years. We always shared stories, talked about events but most of all we discussed various comedies, concerns or validations about family. She watched me grow and then my boys. For many years I think my boys thought she was “family.” I cannot imagine the loss Chris and the children feel at this time, however I hope they can lean on the great memories they shared together. Deb was a magical lady when she was happy and her smile was one to remember.

Chris n Family:
Deb was my hairdresser for nearly 42 years. She was at the Gazebo in Nob Hill when we first met. We became great friends thru those years n shared our stories of  our families, mutual friends, good times n bad times, and discussed many various other subjects. We laughed together, talked over our problems together and at the end of our hour or two she always fixed my hair perfectly!! I will miss her dearly n loved her dearly. I know her past couple of years were challenging n I hope she is at peace with her Heavenly Father. My prayers n deepest sympathies to you Chris n your family. Deb’s laugh n humor was infectious which I will remember always. ❤️

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Debbie’s passing.  She had been my hairdresser for over 42 years, when she first started at the Gazebo.  I always looked forward to my appointments with her, because she made my hair look great and we got to visit while doing it. She loved to talk about Chris, her kids, grandkids and everything that was going on with them. She was so enthusiastic that each time she did my hair, it was the best ever! She was not only my hairdresser, but my friend and I will miss her dearly.  She had gone thru a lot in the past year or two -  may she Rest In Peace. My deepest sympathy to her family, Judy Larsen

I met Debbie of course through cutting hair. I was one of her first customers.  She was a good friend. We shared stories of our families, trips, and our struggles. She was one of the nicest people I know. She always had a smile, was fun and had a big heart. She loved her family  unconditionally. I know she has not been well for sometime, but It was Still a shock to hear of her death. I will miss you with all my heart.  Love and hugs Debbie.  ❤️🙏🙏

Debbie and I go way back.  I was Debbie and Chris Lamaze instructor.  Then Debbie started cutting my hair.  This was at least 35 years ago. Debbie was excited each hair cut was her BEST!  And she was quick to tell you so!  Always had a big smile and stories to tell.  Debbie loved her children and her grandchildren and was so proud of them.  Debbie was over generous with her time,love,and helping hand.  I know she was struggling the last few years. I am sadden at her loss. May she Rest In Peace!,    Love you girl. Shirley 

Debbie did my hair for over 20 years. Our kids are roughly the same age, so when I stopped in, we would always share stories of our families; from the soccer mom days to first apartments, to weddings and babies. She so loved all of you. I could tell she was proud and felt blessed to be your wife and mom. She also loved being a grandma and getting up early to send Chris off to work. Hugs to all of you. I hope you will be able to feel her looking over you all from heaven. Thank you for sharing Debbie with all of us.  

I cannot tell you how sorry I am in the loss of your wife and mother. Debbie and I were friends for nearly 40 years. She could make you laugh like no other. She had a quick wit, a winning smile, and would  give you her heart and soul.  I know the last few years have been painful for all of you. Remember all the good times. 
My sincere and deepest sympathy, 
Jan Luring


My Dearest Bubbles, you have made living in Yakima a blessing with your heart, your humor and your love. I am still trying to grasp your departure too soon my dear friend. I am looking for your smile and wonderful laugh around every corner until I see you again. 

Debbie was a delightful person to know. She made my mother always look her best throughout the many years of sitting in her chair. I knew not to call my mom on the cell phone when she was at the salon. That time was special  she enjoyed their time talking & laughing about their lives. So many seasons were shared getting ready for the holidays, vacations, weddings, & births of their beloved grand children. A true friendship that will be missed by all. God bless & peace be with you.😇🌺❤

Ah, Pharmer, what a hoot you were. I so enjoyed your smile and laugh and support. I am stunned that you are gone. I guess God needed you back so I can't feel too sad. Love you, dearheart.

I am in shock at the news of Deb’s passing. I pray that her mother and family will be comforted at this difficult time. Deb was an amazing person and I will miss running into to her from time to time.  

I couldn't thank my dear Debbie enough for all the times she helped me get through life's tragedies, she always made me feel better. I loved her as a beautician & a friend. We laughed so hard at the smallest things. She was such an uplifting person and it was a
blessing to know her. I will always miss her, but she's in Gods arms
now with no more pain. My prayers and sympathy  go out to the family. Love Linda Price

I am devastated at the news of my dear friend Debbie Pharmer’s  passing. 
We have been friends for over 40 years. She started doing my hair when she worked for the Gazebo at Nobhill plaza. She was an inspiration she worked so hard  during all these years to the point of exhaustion. Her love of life her smile and laugh were contagious. She shared her love of friendship with all of her friends and clients.  The love of her family was unwavering. She loved her husband and kids with no conditions.  She has had a couple of hard years with illness and  surgeries .  The death of her sister and her strength her mother were devastating..Debbie was a wonderful person  I miss her so much already. To my little buddie I will never forget you. I will love and miss you until I see you again in heaven.  Now you can rest.  Love you little Buddie. Susie Burns

My heart is broken. I can't tell you how much she is appreciated and loved.  She has made me feel like a million bucks many times over the 20 years of our friendship... She really had a great talent and thank goodness I told her twelve days ago. I feel good that I did tell her how i appreciated her, (look on her phone messages) Oh so sorry for  you all as she was a treasure.  May she rest in peace...

My heart is broken.  We have lost the best hairdresser....thank goodness just 12 days ago I told her how I felt about her (read her text msgs) and thanked her for over 20 years of making me feel like a million bucks.  She was the best and will be missed by many.
May she rest in peace.  So sad for your loss.


Debbie has been my hair dresser for over 20 years. I also considered her my friend.  She talked often about her family.  I feel like I know you too. I will miss her her smile and sense of humor.
She listened to my life stories and has always made me feel better
and I also heard her stories. my sympathies go out to all her family, you have had many family losses lately. I like to think Debbie is doing hair in heaven and giving her friendly advise to the angels.
