Deb enjoyed baking, canning, and tending to her gardens. She was a creative soul, making countless one-of-a-kind pieces for family and friends. Deb loved her Sunday morning breakfast dates with Harold at Tall Tails in Wallacetown, or going to enjoy a sweet treat at Pinnell's Pastries in Ridgetown. What Deb loved most in this world were her two granddaughters, she loved spending time with them sharing her kind spirit and wisdom.
Deb's wishes were to be cremated.
