Debbie worked at CAE Link and BSB Bank & Trust in Binghamton before relocating to Frederick, MD in 2003 where she worked for Bechtel Corporation. Debbie amassed many good friends during her life, all of whom she loved and treasured, and she felt blessed at the outpouring of faith, love and support during her illness. Her main passion was her two yellow Labrador Retrievers, Opus and Melody, whom she loved dearly. Both were her loving and faithful companions for many years. They brought her so much joy and made her life complete.
