Many of her co-workers and peers tell great stories of always having fun and productive times with Deb.

Deb loved working and contributing; she was a real people person, smart, funny, and witty, and loved engaging with her partners, clients, and customers. She was loved and well respected by everyone who knew her.

In 1993, Debbie moved to Texas. She married the love of her life, Irwin Hass, on Saturday, October 17th, 1998, in Kennesaw, Georgia, and they celebrated 34 wonderful years together.

Debbie was a beautiful and talented woman whose presence always filled the room as she entered, always at the heart of family gatherings, so full of fun, energy, and love. She enjoyed needlepoint, collecting Thomas Kinkade art, playing games at family gatherings, shopping for shoes, and always getting just the right gift, no matter the occasion. She was very generous with her time, talents, and treasure, and donated to many organizations that she held dear. She was a woman of strong faith who sustained and strengthened her at all times and was steadfast in her belief in the hereafter. She will be deeply missed and joyfully remembered for how she made people feel. Her warmth and presence immediately engaged and put you at ease. She was calm, caring, comforting, generous, and welcoming at all times. You were always happy and thankful to be in her company.
