Debra spent 11 years as a volunteer firefighter for State Line, Indiana. Debra loved working on her genealogy. In her spare time she loved writing poetry, doing crafts, sewing, making jewelry, and creating PicArt for her friends and family on Facebook. She loved her family and especially her grandchildren dearly. Debra was a very sociable woman and you were only a stranger to her one time after that, you were practically her family. Even though Debra didn’t have much to give, she would do what she could to give to those in need. Debra was loved by many and will be deeply missed. A memorial for Debra will be at a later date.
