Dennis and family, thinking of you at your time of loss. sincerely Dean and Beth krogman
My deepest sympathy to Dennis and the family. Debbie always had a smile on her face.
Deb was a great friend and nurse. I worked with her as Dr. Donnelly’s receptionist. So sorry for your loss.
I first knew Deb when she was an operating room nurse at Jane Lamb. I knew that if she were scrubbing for me, the case was going to go well. (She even made sure my favorite music was playing!). When I realized I needed a second nurse in my office, I was so happy when she agreed to join me. I think some of the other surgeons were unhappy that I stole her out of the OR! She was a quick learner, and so nice to patients. I never had a single complaint from a patient about her or my other wonderful nurse, Lucia. But she was not just my nurse; she was a great friend as well. Rest in peace.
Rest in Peace Deb!! I can hear you saying “Hey Joni girl” Was happy to know you!!
Such fun memories I have with Deb in the Jane Lamb Hospital Operating Room. The day she came to work in labor with her first baby that was breach inspired me to be resilient for my delivery. Then to work with her daughter Jessica on the Open Heart Team was a privilege. You left your mark, Deb.
Rest in Peace sweet classmate / mother/ grandmother and wife…
you fought the strong fight…
cancer sucks.!!!
our Thoughts and Prayers???? are with Dennis and the family ????????????????????
