January 12, 1956 - August 31, 2024
We are heartbroken to announce the sudden passing of our Dear Debbie. She is survived by her loving husband David, daughter Leah and son-in-law Alan Collier. Left to mourn are her many brothers & sisters, nieces & nephews and dear lifelong friends and neighbors.
Deb was proud of her family and her home. She made it a loving home for her, Dave and Leah. In her younger years, Deb’s hobby was sewing for her family and friends. This turned into a business when they started D & D Upholstery and ran it from their shop for many years. She always joked that the first D in the business name stood for Debbie and anyone who knew her, knew that to be true. She worked hard and enjoyed all the people that came into the shop, most of them became good friends along the way. Then came her second hobby, her garden, her and Dave would spend hours out there. We swear that there were more miles on the garden tiller than on her vehicle.
Even though Deb & Dave would go to visit Leah & Alan in Alberta, Deb preferred to stay at home and work on the property with Dave. Debs’ idea of a perfect vacation was to sit on the deck with Dave and have a drink on a warm summers’ night. If people stopped by, they were more than happy to enjoy their company.
Deb loved her 4-legged furry friends as much as she loved all of us. She was a kind and generous soul; she was a straight shooter, she loved fiercely, and she was taken too soon.
We would like to thank the Beaverly Fire and Rescue team for their great service. UHNBC Emergency Dr. J Frey and the nursing staff that attended.
There will be no funeral service as per Debbie’s request.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Beaverly Fire Rescue Hall.
“They say that someone is truly never gone until you stop remembering them. We will be living with the love you left behind”
