She received Christ at an early age and was baptized by George Manning at Second Antioch Baptist Church.
Debbie, as we all knew her, was a graduate of Powhatan High School, Class of 1974. She also furthered her education at Virginia Union University’s School of Theology.
Debbie was employed at PMUSA, Spectrum and Sunrise Senior Living. She retired from Powhatan County where she drove the school bus and was a driver, taking students to various schools in Richmond.
Debbie loved her church family, and had a special bond with her Pastor, Reverend Mark Divens, Sr., and First Lady Tina. She held several positions in the church, she served as Deacon, church clerk for many years, sang on several choirs, and was always willing to help out wherever she could. She was a faithful member until her health began to fail.
