Debbie was born in Youngstown, Ohio.  She lived in Macon for over 30 years.  She was a part of the Harley Davidson Club and thoroughly enjoyed riding her Harley.  She bred competition Chinese Shar Pei dogs and English Bulldogs before moving to Georgia.

Debbie had a career in the food business for many years.  She worked with Cracker Barrel in Macon, managed Olive Garden, and managed the cafeteria of GE Capital.  She also worked with H&R Block.

Debbie was a free spirit and loved music, going to the beach, and had a natural talent for growing plants.  She enjoyed cooking.  She had a beautiful smile and a witty sense of humor that will be greatly missed.  She had a special gift of being a great listener and friend to people.  She was a fun big sister who always loved to celebrate holidays and make them special.
