A lifelong woman of faith, Debbie was a devoted member of the Chillicothe First Church of the Nazarene, where she and Charles faithfully attended weekly services. Together they found deep joy in serving community meals at the church each week and preparing blessing boxes for the troops. Her gentle spirit, quiet generosity, and steadfast love for her family and faith touched everyone who knew her.
