Debbie was a 1988 graduate of KRHS where she was an average student, a class officer, a member of several sports teams and clubs, and a participant in a number of activities. She went on to William Paterson College.  She interned in NYC for the Late Show.  After graduation she worked on the Later show and then for Greg Kinnear as a script editor.  He moved the show to Los Angeles.  She enjoyed many enjoyable experiences.

Debbie was kind, caring, compassionate and generous.  Often, she would be one of the first to welcome a new kid at school. She sang with her church choir and volunteered at the soup kitchen. She helped to raise money for AIDS, volunteered with the Red Cross disaster relief services, Project Self Sufficiency and at Camp Auxilium. She enjoyed helping others.
