Deb was our best friend, our rock and our beacon during difficult storms. She was deeply devoted to her family and friends and was actively involved in the development and raising of each of her grandchildren. She was always the go to person for those in need of a shoulder. She was an active runner having participated with her running partner, Tom in many races and marathons. She liked to knit and was an avid reader.
