Deb was one of the first people I met when starting at the CCIU.
Her kindness, patience (she answered endless questions for me), positive spirit and genuine regard for those she worked with was evident each day. I will miss Deb's light in our office and will keep her, and her family in my prayers.

So kind and caring...
Deb was such a wonderful, kind and caring person. She always went above and beyond what was required of her at work. I will never forget our "disappearing schedule issues" and how she always brightened my day when I had the pleasure of speaking or seeing her in the office. She will be greatly missed at the CCIU. Her family members are in my thoughts and prayers. I will miss you Deb.

I am praying for Deb's family
I am praying for Deb's family and our IU family. Deb was very much loved and respected by all her co-workers. She was a friend to all of us in times of need. She had a lovely voice and enjoyed singing in the "ESC Singers" for two years. She often spoke of her sisters and loved the food they made, fruit they brought her and trips they took together. She often mentioned Trav and the girls and the delightful time she would have with playing school and how she would have to be the student after her granddaughter voted herself as teacher. I will miss our chats and I will miss her love and respect that I enjoyed for the last ten years.God bless us all.

Deb O. When I lost a friend I
Deb O. When I lost a friend I loved, cared about and worked with it seems that time stands still. What moves through me is silence, a quiet sadness. A longing for one more day, one more word. I may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we said good-bye, but little by little, I will remember not just that you died, but that you lived. That your life gave me memories too beautiful to forget. I will see you again some day, in a heavenly place where there is no parting. I will truly miss you!
Deb will be terribly missed.
Deb has been my long time friend and confidante. I will miss her terribly and send all my prayers and best wishes to her family.

From a High School Friend ...
Debbie and I met in High school and attended Vo-Tech together for Cosmetology. We had fun times together! What I remember the most is how much she loved Robin back then! Years flew by and then one Sunday we were visiting a church where my sister-in-law attends and heard a very familiar voice calling my name! We caught up with each other about our lives where we had been and where we ended up, mostly about our families. I am glad we bumped into each other that day because even though you left too soon I know where you are, "No eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor entered into our mind what God has prepared for those who Love Him." My sympathies go out to all of your families that you will keep sweet memories in your hearts and that God would give you Comfort, Strength and Peace.
I am so sorry your family's
I am so sorry your family's loss. Deb was such a kind person and always made our jobs a little easier. She was so helpful in every way. She will be missed.
