Deborah graduated from Altoona High School. Afterwards, she was employed as an operator at Bell Telephone for a several years.

Some of her favorite pastimes were painting and playing the piano. Her favorite game to play with friends and family was Trivial Pursuit and she was best at it.
She was a loving, giving and caring person, devoted wife and friend. That evidence is the deep sorrow in our hearts that her family and friends feel from her passing.
