Debbie retired from ARH after more than 30 years of dedicated service in the Dietary Department. She was a faithful member of Sand Branch Worship Center in Mount Hope, where she loved serving the Lord as a prayer warrior and faithfully working in the church kitchen alongside the ladies of the congregation.

She found great joy in life’s simple pleasures. Debbie loved her flower gardens, searching for treasures at thrift stores, and cooking and baking for family and friends. Her warm smile, compassionate heart, and steadfast faith were a blessing to all who knew her.

Above all, Debbie loved her family and her Savior. Her life was a testament to kindness, humility, and devotion. Though her passing leaves an emptiness in the hearts of those who loved her, they find comfort in knowing she is now at peace in the presence of the Lord she faithfully served.

Debbie’s legacy of faith, love, generosity, and service will continue to live on through the many lives she touched.

“Well done, good and faithful servant.” — Matthew 25:23
