I’m so sorry to learn of Deb’s passing! I knew her since McCaskey, and would always see her at any of the ‘Class of ’65’ functions or reunions. She was always upbeat, smiling and giggling. I loved that about her! The most recent time I saw her, but didn’t get a chance to talk with her, was at a local Fall Fair, where she was completely enjoying a performance by an “Elvis Impersonator”! She was having a Ball! A good last picture to be carried forward. My deepest sympathies to her family! She was a treasure to be missed!
