Life story
Deb, Debbie, Mom, Meme, sister, wife, cousin, friend…. My mom was the light of my life. She was a constant in WPS for all her “kids”. She was a force to be reckoned with. I created this page in hopes of keeping her spirit alive for everyone. I know she is with me always and she is sure to make it known when I really need it. I love and miss you mom. “Your candle burned out long before your legend ever did”
