Debbie married the love of her life, Richard Jiricka in 1978. She had a huge love of flowers and really enjoyed being in her back yard; solar lights were her speciality. She also enjoyed reading, when she was not in the garden you could see her with a book in her hand. She enjoyed everything sparkly and full of “bling”.
