Debra C. Orth

Debra was a 1979 graduate of Madison High School. She was currently working at Hertz Rent-A-Car but had previously worked as an EMT for Washington Township; was a part of the mounted Sheriff's department; worked as a 911 dispatcher; worked in animal clinics; and operated her own day care for 10 years. Debra had a love of horses, enjoyed riding every chance she could, and loved all animals, especially her cat, Magoo. She was an exceptional shopper and enjoyed honing her skills.

Debra loved with her whole heart and was always caring for others before herself. She loved keeping in touch with her family and spending time with her grandchildren was her most favorite activity. Debra was very kind and meant so much to many people. She will not be forgotten and we are all blessed for having known her.
