Debbie was a warrior and survivor, always doing what was best in life's trials and tribulations. A proud New Orleans Saints fan, Debbie's devotion to her southern Louisiana roots shone brightly in every aspect of her life. Her cooking skills, especially her seafood gumbo, were legendary among family and friends. She embraced the fun and merriment of Mardi Gras, always finding joy in its vibrant traditions.
