I worked with Debbie for many years at WCCC. She was always so kind and attentive to students. No matter what she was doing, she would spend as much time as needed with a student or a colleague. She understood that at a community college, students needed help, guidance, and encouragement. She gave all three. Debbie was a great all around person overall.

My deepest sympathy to Dan, Maria, and family. I worked with Debbie in the Admissions office. She was a joy to know and such a beautiful person inside and out! RIP "Doll"
