After attending Holy Trinity grade school, Debbie graduated from Bishop Kearney High School in 1971 and MCC in 1973.  Her interest in nursing began in high school when she worked at Park Ave. Hospital.  She later retired from Highland Hospital, where she worked 4 ½ years on the Med Surgical floor and final 38 years in the Special Care Nursery.  She cherished taking care of the babies at the hospital.

Her love of pets, especially her dog, Treasure (named after Treasure Island Casino) and her cat, Aria (named after Aria Casino), trips to Las Vegas (twice a year, spring and fall) bowling every week, reading, latch-hooking and crocheting were all wonderful parts of Debbie’s life.  She loved her family and family gatherings and was always there when needed.  We will miss her greatly.
