I first met Debbie in 2006. We both worked CCU at Lubbock heart Hospital. She was such an amazing person a great nurse and a wonderful friend. I know she’s in a better place now and pain-free and but she will be missed by so many people love you, Debbie

Wishing you comfort and peace during this difficult time.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Debbie was always great to me. You will be missed. Fly high and say hi to Philip for me. Thank you for the impact you made in my life.

Thinking of you all. I loved Debbie like a mother. She was a great mentor and friend. She took me under her wing at the beginning of my nursing career. We had a lot of great times. I'm going to miss her.

Thinking of you guys during this difficult time. Praying you find comfort in the fact that Debbie is no longer in pain and happily in her heavenly home.

I am so sad to hear of Debbie’s passing. I worked with her at UMC for many years. She was a great leader and made sure that the Emergency Center and staff were taken care. She was taken from you too early. May God give you strength as you go through this difficult time.

Heartfelt condolences. I worked with Debbie on and off over the course of many years. She was a fantastic nurse and will be greatly missed.

I can’t count the amount of laughs and amazing times I had working with Debbie over the years. She was a mentor and a great friend that I will miss dearly. Even after moving away from Lubbock we kept in touch, especially regarding college football. I would get a text from her opening weekend when ESPN GameDay came on to make sure I was watching. There won’t be a time I sit down to watch that I won’t be thinking of her.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
