1981 - 1991 .Debbie was a lovely dancer. I enjoyed dancing with her in musicals as well as performing her choreography and choreographing together. She was my invalueable assistantant for the musical 'Hair" at UVM. She was artistically and emotionally supportive. She was also in the show. What a perfect show to express both her free flowing movement and open to the world energy. We were neighbors for several years in NYC and enjoyed our time together. Gone too soon. The world still needs her positive energy.

My deepest sympathies and wishes for peace and comfort go out to my Uncle Steve and Debby’s family during this tremendously difficult time. Debby was my aunt, and without question, she was a wonderfully generous, sweet, and angelic person. I loved her very much. She was Steve’s whole world… and I know she was special because Steve’s entire outlook on life and his well-being bloomed tremendously while they were together. They were truly soulmates, which makes this all that much more difficult.
Debby also showed tremendous courage to the end, and often spoke and texted me to offer words of encouragement and hope for my own medical condition, as if absolutely nothing was wrong with her. That’s truly a generous and selfless person. I felt guilty about it sometimes. She helped me cope, and I hope I helped her cope too…we promised that we would be each other’s coaches. I also always appreciated the cool and interesting gifts she and my uncle sent to me on special occasions. I deeply regret never meeting her in person, which is an important lesson of life — we always think we have much more time, or we can “do it later,” but we never really know.
I know how much she loved my uncle and all their pets, which was their super-close family, and I know how much they both appreciated all their friends and family that came to their aid in their time of need. I am truly grateful to them for being by their side.
If there was anything I could say to make Steve ‘s and Debby’s family’s heart hurt less, I would certainly say it. All I know is that they shared something tremendously special, and they were fortunate to have the time that they had together — many people do not get to experience what they experienced. I just wish they had more time.
On behalf of my entire family, our prayers and best wishes for comfort and solace go out to my Uncle Steve and Aunt Debby’s family and friends. We are always thinking of you.
With love, always, Scott

Debby was my sister in law. We never met in person because I live in Florida. Debby and I became close by texting and phone conversations. I always loved hearing her sweet voice and she always texted me very special sayings and emojis. I really miss the messages from her and the beautiful Lady Bug treasures she always found on her trips to the garage sales and other ventures with my brother.
She will be in my heart for ever. I became to love her so much and we called each other Sister. I truly miss her and will never forget her. Debby rest in heaven with all your angels. Love Barbara

I am really saddened about Debbie’s passing. I have lots of good memories about hanging out with our dogs together.
Debbie loved the dog park and her Tommie.
My thoughts are with you Steve, and her family.
