Debbie graduated from San Saba High School and then continued her education graduating from Angelo State University. She had a 40+ year long career working in the Brownwood Hospital lab, where she made an impact on the medical community. After retiring, she found joy in giving back to her community, volunteering many years for Toys for Kids in Brownwood.
