Debra, known for her fighting spirit from birth, received a Certification of Completion from Millbrook High School in Raleigh, North Carolina. With an independent attitude and an eagerness to connect with others, she never met a stranger. Debra embraced life fully despite her challenges.In her late 20s, Debra was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome, which provided clarity on her unique traits. Her intelligence and love of reading were central to her life, offering her solace and joy, particularly in bookstores. Debra shared her passion for knowledge generously and faced each obstacle with the unwavering support of her family. Her interests included Lilo and Stitch, pro-wrestling, taking cruises, and engaging with online friends. Debra also had a deep affection for animals, contributing yearly donations to the local Humane Society.Deb had her own unique way of phrasing things and speaking her mind, rather than any politically correct way of speaking. Her family will miss the “Oh Debbie” moments and the beauty Debra saw in everything.
