This was on her birthday and that was the last time I got to say “I love you grandma” and for my birthday it was really hard bc she perished 6 days before my birthday and I look at this page everyday to remember her and how great she was to everyone she had in her life and I just can’t stand it that she had to leave us so early.  I miss you grandma 
Love: Allie Johnson ❤️

She made me feel loved without ever saying I love you. 

Debbie Johnson was truly one-of-a-kind.  She never ceased to amaze me during our time working together at Fujifilm Diosynth with her work ethic and knowledge.  After I left the company, we continued our friendship and I so enjoyed the girls night get-togethers we had - just she and I - and all the stories she would share about adventures with her family and the latest news on the purple martins.   Our last get together was December 2020, and Debbie shared the story about how when she was in her 20s she learned (on a dare) to drive an 18-wheeler.  There was literally nothing Debbie could not do, once she put her mind to it.   I will forever miss calling her up and hearing her exuberant greeting:  “Hey, Girl!”   I am blessed to have know this wonderful lady.  

My condolences to the family on Debbie's passing.  I had the great privilege of working with Debbie for many years at Fujifilm Diosynth.   She was always a pleasure to work with and she will be greatly missed.  My prayers are with the family in the days ahead.

The last time I got to see Debbie was when her mother passed and several of the 1st cousins got together and had lunch together.  I will always remember this special time we shared.

Dear Anthony and family, I’m so very sorry to hear of Debbie’s passing,  she was a very special  person.  She was a very big part of our lives when  Graham and I were young and raising our kids.  I will keep you , Mark and cousins in my prayers....

I only got to know her a short time, but from what I seen she was a very special lady. Wish I had more time with the woman that took such great care of my brother. Fly high sweet angel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My deepest sympathy.  I worked with Debbie and she was a dear friend.  She spoke of you all often and I know she loved you all so much. Remember to enjoy taking the boat out, that would make her happy.  I will remember her every year when the Purple Martins arrive in North Carolina.   You’re in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to each of you. My heart breaks for all of you but be confident in the fact that Deborah is resting comfortably at the feet of Jesus. She is rejoicing in a new life free of sickness and pain.  

My thoughts and prayers are with y'all. I have known Debbie since elementary school in Hillsborough. We were childhood friends but went our separate ways after graduation. We reconnected right before our 40th class reunion when I found her on facebook.  We have stayed in contact with each other since then. I will miss our talks on the phone so much. I saw her back in February when she came for an appointment in Hillsborough. Before she went in we hugged and told each other I love you. Rest easy my sweet friend. I love you.

I worked with Deb at Fujifilm for many years.  She was one of my favorites!  Very knowledgeable and always  helpful and she Will truly be missed.
