I’m so sorry for your loss.  I deliver Deb’s mail. Boy, am I going to miss her!  She’s one of my favorite customers!  Quite the spitfire. She always had me in tears laughing when I talked to her. I admired how she lived life and how straight forward she was. I’m so glad I got to know her, even if it was just the occasional chat at the mailbox. With heartfelt sympathy, Kelly

My deepest condolences to the Armstrong and Wolf families.  I got to know Deb many years ago when she was in the insurance business with her dad.  They were a wonderful family to know and appreciate their excellent service in  the insurance business.  I will miss her presence as she was always the same whenever you met up with her.   All smiles and laughs.  She put the sunshine in every conversation.   I will miss her dearly and Heaven has gained a wonderful person.  May she rest in Heavens peace.

My deepest condolences to Debbie’s sisters, Fay and Vickilynn, and to others in Deb’s extended families. Warning: This will be long.
I first met Deb when we were in a children’s class at Boehm’s UMC. Deb had been brought to the church as a baby; I came when I was 4 and my family moved nearby. My earliest memory of Deb, who I would come to refer to as “The Deb,” was when we rode in the same car with our mothers to take our tests for the first grade. There was no kindergarten. Mrs. Armstrong drove. I remember Deb and I standing behind the front seats, so excited about going to school. That was 70 years ago.
From then on, same church, same public schools and same school buses. We both grew up in the church at a time when men and boys wore suits. Deb was a sharp dresser, who in her later teens began to wear hats to church. Later, Deb would cut my hair. We shared an interest in the same era of country music, the one in which Conway Twitty and Bill Anderson were stars. She named her show dog, Conway. She loved her dogs.
Deb became my insurance agent after her father passed. Deb had a mischievous laugh that I don’t think anyone could mimic. If excited or upset, her voice could become shrill. You knew where you stood with her.  I enjoyed the time I spent with Deb and Al at their home, at church, or when we bumped into each other.
Deb was a true friend. We could confide in each other, knowing neither would betray the other. We had a lifetime of trust.
After my wife and I moved to the suburbs of Pittsburgh (Helen’s home) Deb and I kept in touch with phone calls and text message.
I called to apologize when I missed her birthday, and that is when she told me she was very sick. I cannot  accept that she is gone. I know that one day soon I will see something of mutual interest, or meet someone we both knew from the past, and will want to tell Deb about it. I will pick up my phone to text her … then it will hit it.
I know her suffering has ended and she is in heaven and for that I am thankful. But I feel an emptiness now, an emptiness that someday will be replaced with fond memories of The Deb, my friend for life.
