I had the pleasure of working with Debbie at Rocco's corporate office in the mid 90s. Debbie helped make the sales dept. a fun place and was a joy to work with. I last saw her at the Rocco reunion picnic and was glad to have had a chance to catch up with her. My deepest sympathies to her family and close friends. I know she will be missed.

I met Debbie in the early 90\'s through a mutual friend. Debbie was always so positive and lived life to the fullest. I remember what a terrific dancer she was and I know she\'s dancing in heaven right now. Blessings and sympathy to her family and friends. You will be missed.

Mendi and I were really good friends when we were kids. I loved to go to her house because we had so much fun! Debbie and Mendi always seemed to be such good friends and I really admired that. Mendi and family, I have fond memories of Debbie ... please find some comfort knowing how many lives she touched.

The news of Debbie's death saddened me and was a shock having shared and survived so many chill-packs together at Rocco and now Cargill. Debbie always made me feel hugged and when I would see her she called me sweet heart. She was a wonderful person to work with and I will miss her.
