We were so young, just kids playing , laughing, so innocent, our whole life ahead of us. That’s how I will always remember us, Debbie, Mary and myself. I cry now, am sad but I will hold those wonderful days in my heart and mind. Tears flow knowing the inevitable. My Love to Debbie, Mary, Rich and all of your family. Your other brother, Ken Mitchell.
Dick and Debbie were good friends of ours and miss them very much . May God bless their souls. Larry and Bonnie Setzkorn.
I remember Debbie from high school. We were class of 1966. She was as nice as she was beautiful. I’m sorry for your loss.
I’m so very fortunate to have had such an amazing, positive, strong, loving, supportive Aunt & friend!! She was beautiful inside & out! Always thinking of others with kindness & generosity and she was a great role model. I don’t know if there was ever a time when we got together that she didn’t have something thoughtful to share. Such a great example of love & kindness to everyone around her. She was one-of-a-kind. We had many fun adventures through the years – trips to Texas to see Aunt Mary, concerts, shopping together, cooking in the kitchen sharing her family recipes, family gatherings at her home in Belle Plaine and so much more. She will be greatly missed by many! Her beautiful soul will live on in our memories forever until we see each other again in eternity ❤️🙏
You said it all Sister Tina. She was all of these things and more. I am so Thankful that Dear Aunt Debbie was in our Lives! I will always Think of Her with Love and Wonderful Memories. I Love You Aunt Debbie. I know You will be another Angel looking over all of us!!
My precious Aunt Debbie, as a little girl in Wichita, I was in awe of you. So many wonderful memories. Our bus trips downtown made me feel so special. You were the very definition of grace. Sending much love to all who were blessed to know her.
