She was preceded in death by her parents Alfred A. Woolman and Julia B. (Anselme) Woolman; her brother Donald L. Woolman. Debbie considered herself a homemaker; she devoted her life to taking care of her family and didn’t want it any other way. She raised her children to be kind, empathetic, brave, humble, and happy. Debbie was a very determined woman. Everyone who knew her, knew this to be true. So it would be wrong to say that she lost her battle because she never stopped fighting. No matter how sick she was, she was determined. Just because she’s no longer here, doesn’t mean she lost her fight. She will be deeply missed by all her loved ones. REST IN PEACE MOM! WE LOVE YOU! Debbie never wanted to be the center of attention, so any services will be private for immediate family members only.
