Debra Ripley

Debbie graduated Beal Business School with her associates degree and was a graduate from Glen Cove Bible College with a focus in Christian Education. She worked as an Insurance Advisor and CPR, Youth Director, and Youth Pastor.

Debbie is survived by her husband James Ripley.

She is predeceased by her parents and Robert (Bobby) Rackliffe.

Her passion (beyond her husband and her faith) has been her work with young people and youth. She was a great youth director and youth pastor for many years and only gave it up for health reasons. She was a long-tenured businesswoman in the insurance industry and was highly respected by her peers as such.

She and her husband Jim were devoted to each other almost from the day they met in college. They spent 52 years together in marriage.

Her later years were marked by physical and cognitive challenges which she and Jim worked through together. She has now been released from those and healed by her Savior Jesus Christ in Heaven!

She was (and still is) loved and will be sorely missed.
