I am so sorry to learn of Debbie's passing.
My mother was Debbie's first cousin, Their fathers having been brothers
Although I hadn't been in touch with Debbie for some time,I will always have some of my best memories of summers in Donkin. Debbie was always so kind to us kids. In later years I was in Glace Bay with 2 of my own kids, and we visited Debbie and my happiest memory of that visit is Ronnie helping me find my way back to New Waterford with a "police escort" so to speak.
Kinder people you could never meet.
I have stayed in contact with Valerie Wadden, another cousin from the Clarke side, who has let me know of this terrible time.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. Heaven now has a new angel.

Ronnie, Amy, Sean and families,
We are so sorry for the loss of a wonderful soul. Debbie was such a lovely person. She cared about her family, friends, and her community. When Amy and Sean were in school, Debbie was often seen at the school helping out with the lunch program, sporting events, and fundraisers. Always, friendly and welcoming, it was a pleasure to catch up on “kid” news! We shall remember her fondly, and shall think of her often. Death may end a life, but not a relationship. The love and memories are still there and as long as we recall the special moments we shared with our loved ones, they will remain in our hearts forever. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincere sympathy,
Harris and Eileen Martin and family

I have such wonderful memories of Debbie as a girl.
She came to visit her beloved Aunt Beryl in Starks Corner, Quebec some summers and quickly became a friend to my cousin, Lynn Elliott and myself.
We were thrilled to travel by train one summer to Donkin, to visit Debbie and her wonderful parents and brother. We were toured around and enjoyed being with Debbie and participating in a variety of community events. It was a wonderful and memorable adventure!
My heartfelt condolences to Debbie’s family and friends.

To Debbie's Family & Friends:
I have known Debbie my whole life and was saddened to read of her passing. One memory I will never forget is from July, 1986 when Debbie (along with Dr. Kent) saved my life from anaphylaxis shock. She took me in and set up an IV immediately before the Doctor even got a chance to look at me. I was 5 minutes away from death. I have always been so grateful for her compassionate nursing care. Sincerest sympathy and prayers to Ronnie, their children and the rest of Debbie's family. She will never be forgotten. May she rest in peace.
