I met Debbie last year at a pottery class. She was so quiet, and open. It was my pleasure to know her. She gifted me with two of her adorable tiny pieces of pottery. I cherish them. I saw the notice of her death when I was trying to get hold of her to invite her to lunch. I am sorry I waited too long. She will be a happy memory to me. I am so sorry for your loss.

Please, accept my condolences. She often spoke of ther family adventures - the weekly dinner and the ski trips too! I have so much to say about Debbie. She encouraged me so much in my pottery studio adventure. We shared a love of ice cream of course, and any new technique we could try making or decorating our pottery. Her style was quirky so anything unusual I would create she wanted. That made me feel so good about my work since she was a true art collector. I was honored to have her as a studio member and friend. Every time I drive by her street I think of her. A little sad, missing her and a little happy as I have had so many fond memories with her.

I first met Deb at WGBY back when we were college interns doing TV production. She was helpful in helping me get a job at the Valley Advocate, though our paths did not cross that much after we both moved on. I remember her as a smart and creative woman. My condolences to her family and friends.

It was always a joy to see Debbie. She was the master of adding texture to her beautiful pottery pieces.
