Debra loved her family, the yearly trips with friends and family to Gulf Shores, Ala., “potato runs,” quad trips to the U.P., sitting on the beach, watching her children and grandchildren grow up, gardening, singing, watching the Fourth of July parade with friends and following the Scottville Clown Band down Ludington Avenue as the parade ended; girls Christmas shopping trips to Grand Rapids, Christmas cookie parties and wearing a costume any chance she got. She was the life of the party, she loved her friends and family dearly and she left an impression on everyone she met.

She was a great wife, a wonderful mother, a loving grandma and a great friend to many.
