Deborah was a very active person. Always getting outdoors for gatherings and events. She had a knack for gardening, and loved going to the farmers markets. She loved spending time with her family, attended and participated in her grandchildren’s sporting events, being a tennis player herself. She was extremely artistic and was always dressed to the nines for every occasion. She would even dress up her home for the special gathering of friends and family, and the holidays, especially Christmas. She could sew and cook with the best of them. Her love extended beyond her family and friends to birds and her dogs Cooper and Willow.
