Many years later (circa 2003), Deborah received a Certificate from PIMA, when she changed careers from retail sales, where she had a very successful career in book sales. Deborah was an avid reader. Her PIMA education led to work in Hospice as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). Deborah also volunteered with cat rescue organizations and ensured the safety of hundreds of cats through the years, as she fostered (or adopted), fed homeless cats, which she helped capture and released after sterilization. At more than one time, she had 17 cats in her care, which she did find homes.
Deborah loved to travel, especially by air: She had ridden in hot air balloons, helicopters, small planes and jets throughout the US, Mexico, Canada, and Europe.
Seeing musicians and hearing live Music was a passion of Deborah’s. She loved John Prine and his music. She recently noted, John Prine has a song for every experience in your life.
Deborah was an extremely intelligent, compassionate, empathetic, caring person. Deborah met her soul mate, David, in 1976 and they married in 1979. For the past 22 years, Deborah organized and spearheaded an annual Backyard Barbecue, which evolved into an annual Live Music Barbecue (ABBBQ).
