I am so sorry to learn of Debbie’s passing. When our children were growing up we spent a lot of time together especially doing crafts and gardening.

My condolences to you Roger, Wes and Lucas and families. I will always remember the many good times and dinners we shared. She will be missed. R.I.P. Debbie. Love Dianne Hopper

Colleen McKerry says
Roger, Wesley&Erin, Lucas & Sarah + family –
I am so sorry to learn of Debbie’s passing. Over the years it had become a constant for me to see her out walking no matter what the weather would be. I would be walking my dog and there was Debbie. She brightened my day with her wonderful smile and amazing attitude. The challenges she faced she dealt with it all through humour, repetition and abundance of energy. She gave life her all.
Thinking of you Roger + your family at this difficult time. I think it’s fantastic that you gave Debbie the freedom she so needed in her daily life to be “out and about”. I’m sure many times you were worried…..but you gave her what she needed.
Sincerely,
Colleen McKerry

I have fond and beautiful memories of Auntie Deb; from the beautiful way she would gift wrap Christmas gifts that she sent us as children, to the always enthusiastic and positive way she would greet us when we had a chance to visit, to the way she took an interest in getting to know our daughter.

Having known Debbie since we were little girls it is hard to realize she is gone, but never forgotten. Debbie, her brother Bobby and their mother aunt Marion used to visit us in the summer. We always looked forward to their arrival. A lot of wonderful memories were made. Debbie was always so much fun. Her chatter and laughter were memorable and loved. Will miss you cousin.
