Deb was known for her big heart and unwavering belief in those around her, always offering kindness and support — even when it came to the family joke about her conviction that microwaves caused cancer. Her generosity of spirit and sense of humor made her a light in the lives of many.
She kept an immaculate garden and believed that feeding people was the highest form of love. Sunday dinners at her table were never optional. The kitchen was always warm, the conversation always lively, and no one ever left hungry — in body or in spirit.
Her roses were the envy of the neighborhood, and she could identify any flower by its bloom. She taught her children that patience was a virtue best learned in the garden, where you plant seeds and trust in what you cannot yet see.
Faith was the foundation of her life. She prayed for everyone she met and believed that every person carried a spark of the divine. Her door was always open, her coffee pot always on, and her heart always ready to listen.
