They made their home and raised two children, Joni and Johnny Lee in Carnegie. Debbie worked as the Town Clerk for the town of Carnegie for over 20 years. She had a passion for making the cemetery a better and prettier place for everyone to visit their loved ones, even coming up with the idea that no grave goes undecorated. She was an excellent bowler and became a member of a bowling league for many years. She also enjoyed looking into her family's genealogy, even tracing one branch of her family back to Adam and Eve. She loved crafts, and had a passion for projects. Her and Joni shared a craft business together, enjoyed doing craft shows together, and had their crafts at multiple locations. But her favorite thing to do was spend time with her kids and grandkids.

She did just that, She will be greatly missed by all who loved her.
