She had numerous nieces and nephews. She was a happy person who enjoyed peoples company and they enjoyed hers. Her infectious laughter earned her the nickname of “Giggles” in her earlier years. She was loved by so many. Even though Debra lived her entire life in the small rural community of Cedar Grove, not far from West Blocton, she loved to travel. She enjoyed numerous cruises, cross country road and bus trips, and mission trips which took her to the Philippines and Ukraine. Her “Happy Place” was a peaceful little cove on the coast of Maine. But if Debra was here today, she would tell you the thing she enjoyed most was serving her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
