Debbie’s life was a journey marked by love, resilience, and the sharpest wit.

Debbie is survived by her brother John Green (Pamela Yazman), her three loving sons, Jeremy Henrichsen (Catherine Henrichsen), Avery Henrichsen, Brian Henrichsen, and her cherished grandson, Tayven Henrichsen. Her roles as a sister, mother and grandmother were ones she embraced with joy, dedication and honesty, leaving an enduring impact on the lives of her family.
Known for her authentic, sincere, and loving personality, Debbie was a force of nature. She approached life with an open heart, appreciated the beauty in everything around her and always strived to demonstrate what pure tenacity and sheer will can do. Her kindness, sincerity, and unwavering support touched the lives of those around her, creating a legacy that will be cherished.
