Debie spent most of her life caring for others. She was a Registered Nurse who began her work in 1979 as a staff nurse at Overlook Hospital. Debie spent the majority of her career working in Hospice as a Staff Nurse, Intake Coordinator, and Hospice Liason. Her Hospice work began at West Essex Hospice, but the majority of this work was at Atlantic Home Care and Hospice. Debie was a highly intelligent woman who took on many challenges. Some other highlights of her career included Discharge Planner at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, Business Manager at Kimberly Quality Care, and presently RN Coordinator for Information Systems at Atlantic Home Care and Hospice.

Debie was a devoted friend and family member. She was a boyscout leader for her son Jacob and a girl scout leader for her niece Rachel for many years. She cared for sick family and friends in their homes with no different quality of care than her own patients. She looked after some young friends and family members as if they were her own children, ensuring they were always on the right path.

Debie loved creating things that were meaningful, in fact, she was in the process of making a quilt out of her late son’s clothing. She enjoyed knitting, crocheting, and cross stitch. She was a young student of the New Jersey Ballet and she was a devoted subscriber to the New York City Ballet. Her talents are far too many to summarize.

A chapel memorial will be held at Graceland Memorial Park, 1900 Galloping Hill Road, Kenilworth, Saturday, September 3, 2001 at 10:00 am. Donations to Atlantic Homecare and Hospice (33 Bleeker Street, Millburn, NJ 07041) or the American Cancer Society (www.cancer.org) will be appreciated in her memory.
