  5. Many fond memories of Deb at Park school and at her home. I remember when she first became ill and was in the hospital-we as her classmates all were so worried about her! It was a happy day when she was discharged and able to come back to school. Deb had a wonderful smile and was lots of fun,

  6. Olive was an amazing strong women. I have memories of my childhood going to her house and she always wore a smile and was so kind. I am so sorry to hear of her passing but know that she is no longer in any pain. Keeping her family and friends in my thoughts and prayers.

  7. Deb was like the sister I never had while growing up. We lived close to each other, spent nights at each others house, camped together, & had birthdays a day apart. Our families were close as kids. She fought a strong battle with RA. Sometimes I don’t know how she did it. Love her & will miss her. Cathy Wordelman

    • Words cannot convey how much we will miss her. She was the strongest person I’ve ever known and one of the best friends I will ever have.
      We have years of wonderful memories with Deb and Dick.
