Debbie was a giver of all things good to everyone who knew her. Always first in line to lend a hand to anyone, anywhere. She was well respected in the community as a generous contributor and volunteer to numerous charitable organizations and hospitals, both personally, and as a dedicated co-business owner of the local Canadian Tire store in Strathroy for 20 years (retired Jan. 2016).
