    Thinking of you Matthew and Chris at this sad time. I have many happy memories of your Mom at Messiah and as a fellow nurse. May happy memories sustain you at this time ; your mom was so very proud of you both!

    I worked with Deb for several years in ambulatory at SMH. I’ll always remember how kind and soft spoken she was…how much she loved her boys, traveling, her pets, her mom…I’ve often strived to be a better daughter because of the example she set. I can still picture her sitting at her desk with her curly hair working hard on her assignment. She was our “ colpo queen” for many years . She will be missed.

    I was a co-worker of Deb’s, her Legacy left an imprint as a compassionate Nurse,dedicated Daughter and an extraordinary single Mom.
    Her zest for travel adventures was enlightening yet She knew the value of contentment found in her own backyard.
    Thank You Deb for all you gave in living life to the fullest. You are missed. ❤️
