Absolutely gutted in learning of Deb’s passing. The world has lost a bright light. Debbie was one of the classiest ladies we have met in our family’s journey. She was always smiling, positive, willing to help, and extend friendship to anyone in need.
From our family to yours we send our deepest condolences, thoughts, and prayers in the difficult times ahead.

It’s hard to believe that Deb is gone. It’s a shock that her life was taken so quickly. It was too soon. Deb loved life and had so many more adventures to experience. My deepest condolences to Nigel, Andrew, Rhiannon, extended family and friends.
Deb and I met in Waterloo and became close friends. Even after my move to Northern Ontario we stayed in close touch for over 20 years. We were still planning visits only days before she passed away.
Deb would light up a room when she walked in and brought hope, comfort, encouragement and generosity to everyone she met. She had a beautiful smile that made you feel loved and accepted.
I treasure the time that we had together and the beautiful friendship that we shared. She was like a sister to me. I will miss Deb very much. I will hold her in my heart forever.
May God bless the family and give you comfort, strength and peace.

She was so vibrant and loved being active.
She will be missed by all.

A favorite poem, I hope it gives you some comfort.
Death is nothing at all.
I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.

Our hearts and thoughts are with you at this most devastating time. There are so many memories we shared over the years. Our first adventure delivering papers on Saturday with Alex and Rhiannon was the beginning of our special friendship. She would disappear occasionally behind the snow banks as she kept slipping on the ice. Then her head would suddenly pop up and we’d hear, “I’m all right”, from across the street. How we laughed when suddenly, Molly (our dog), would tear down the street squirrel chasing and the papers would go flying out of the wagon. It was so much fun getting to know Deb. Once done, loving her became easy.
I don’t know where all her energy, compassion, sense of humour or common sense all came from but she had it all. Not to mention the fact that she was beautiful and lit up a room when she walked in with that dazzling smile of hers.
So many wonderful memories that we will cherish forever. Was so hoping for many more but not to be. Very thankful and lucky for the ones we have though. We would like to thank our beautiful English friend for being a special part of our lives. It was a privilege and honour to know her. ‘Till we meet again darlin’.

We are heartbroken at this sudden and tragic loss and like so many others a bright and beautiful light has gone out in our lives. From a chance meeting on a dog walk grew a wonderful friendship with so much in common spanning Gloucester roots, rugby, and of course our 'furry children'. We remember especially the dinner parties filled with laughter. It is said that we all die twice; once when we draw our last breath, and again when we are forgotten and on that basis we know Debbie is very much alive and with us all and will continue to be there in our hearts. We feel blessed to have known Debbie and carry her memory forward with us with a big smile - just as she lived her life. Our love and best wishes are now with Nigel, Andrew and Rhiannon during this sad time. Gone but never forgotten. RIP Debs x x

An amazing woman who had a beautiful smile, big heart and kind nature. We will miss her adventure for life and playfulness. She had the ability to make you feel like you were her life long best friend even if you had only known her a few years. We shall always remember this “lovely angel in white” enjoying a glass of champagne with orange juice. We had the utmost pleasure to have vacationed in Cuba with Nigel and Deb in April if this year. You will always be remembered and never forgotten, for tears cannot wipe away the memories.

I met Debbie in passing some years ago at RIM Park. I was walking my two huskies and Debbie was walking Charlee. My male husky Troy launched himself at Charlee and they had a good old snarl-fest. Debbie, true to her kind and gracious nature, suggested that we not let this first meeting between us all end on a bad note. It was the first of many, wonderful "pack" walks we did. I will never forget how generous and kind and beautiful Debbie is - she walks with me still.
The heart-ache and pain of her passing is so great - I cannot fathom the depths Nigel, Rhiannon and Andrew are going through and I wish I could help... xxx

Auntie Debbie,
There are so many things I can share but I'll just say, my mind goes to playing Balderdash at the kitchen island laughing our butts off when i was a kid. You and my mom getting tipsy giggling like crazy on a Saturday night. Once i got older asking you to swear in an English accent and you laughing at me. The most important for me is how you made me always feel comfortable. At the worst times in my life when i was at my lowest with illness and heart break..there you were. Food in hand. Advice. Love. Letting me vent. You were someone i always want to be like. You are a role model for how I want to be to others. I will hear your laugh in my head for the rest of my life. Such a beautiful sound, my friend.
I hope you find your so deserved peace on your journey into the light.
Please be someone who greets me when my name gets called, one day.
Love you forever.
Alex

Debbie was the type of person to see good in everything. We’re not sure we ever saw her lose her temper or get flustered.
Kindness seemed to surround her and we are so glad that our last memories are happy ones from the fantastic holiday in Alaska and Maui.
One memory I will always treasure is our picnic on Lake Huron.
Hugs and kisses always, Zen and Jackie.

I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Debbie personally, but I have been lucky enough to call Rhiannon a friend for the last few years.
I can only assume that Rhiannon is a direct reflection of the kind of woman Debbie was - Kind-hearted, loving, funny and really lights up a room with her amazing personality and spirit. In reading the beautiful memories on this page, I can certainly see this is true!
I am so sorry for your loss, and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time xo.

Debbie was an amazing person and an amazing nurse. When my cancer returned metastatically in 2014, I was very fortunate to have Debbie as one of my nurses in the Oncology Unit at Grand River Hospital. I don’t remember much from those few weeks in the Onc Unit as I was in a bit of state of shock, but I do remember how kind, gentle and compassionate Debbie was, and how she made my stay almost enjoyable(!). I looked forward to her coming in every day, and always hoped she would be one of my nurses. Her sense of humour and interest in anything I wanted to talk about was remarkable, as the wonderful and dedicated Nursing Staff in the Oncology Unit are always very busy. She never made me feel that she was in a rush, and always made me feel like I was her priority. The thing was, she made every patient feel that way.......I saw Debbie again in 2017, when I came to a Nurses’ Staff Meeting to share with the Unit some information regarding our newly reopened Resource Centre in the Cancer Centre, where I was volunteering. She was clearly delighted to see me, and to see how well I was doing, despite my ongoing struggle with cancer. She and I had a lovely chat, and she expressed how pleased she was to see me; it was clear that she remembered me from my stay 3 years earlier, and that she genuinely cared about my progress. This past June, I had the honour of meeting her husband Nigel and her daughter Rhiannon, although the circumstances were dismal, as Debbie had been diagnosed with cancer, and they were seeking information from our Resource Centre. I was shocked and devastated to learn that Debbie was now fighting a battle of her own with cancer. This vibrant, healthy, active and informed woman was the last person one would expect to have to deal with cancer, but that is the perverse nature of this pernicious disease. In July, as chance would have it, Debbie and I were being cared for in the Oncology Unit at the same time. I had the opportunity to spend some very cherished time with her during our stay, and will always be grateful for the time we shared together, talking and laughing and exchanging stories about our dogs. I can’t adequately express my sadness and shock over the loss of this remarkable woman, but she will always remain in my heart, and the impact she had on all who were fortunate enough to have had her in their lives will never diminish. Rest in good health, contentment and strength my dear woman, and know that you have led an admirable life that anyone would be encouraged to emulate.

Debbie and I were job share partners for 2 and a half years before I moved away in May of this year. As others have mentioned , she was like a work mom. When I'd come over to her place to work out our schedule she would make me tea and we'd chat about plans and things we'd like to do in the coming months.
It was always a pleasant surprise when we worked together because of our schedule but I particularly remember having late chats on nights. She was so confident in her knowledge; compassionate and strong. I will not forget the time spent together. I imagine she's on some sort of new adventure now ❤️
As I am in BC and cannot attend the memorial please know I would like to send my deepest condolences to her family and friends. I will be wearing blue scrubs on Monday!

My sincere wishes for peace and love for you all. I was so fortunate to work with Debbie at GRH when I was on the palliative care team. We shared many moments of laughter, joy, sorrow, tears and gratitude together. She was always someone who put the patient first and spoke so fondly of her family. She humbled me with her life experiences and wisdom , but also excited me for the years to come as a mother, wife and nurse. She would always speak of the joys that she was experiencing and those that were ahead of her. The nursing profession was blessed to call her one of their own and I am so blessed to have spent the little time I had with her.

Debbie was a beautiful soul. It is so tragic that such a giving and loving person was taken so soon. She will be missed by many. Our family enjoyed chatting with Debbie when we ran into one another walking our dogs, or delivering cookies to her and the family at Christmas time, which she always praised up- and made our daughters day by receiving them so warmly. They also loved to bring her flowers and chat. She always took time out of her day to say hello and check in. I remember when she saw an ambulance come pick up my youngest with a newborn health scare. She came over and checked in and wrote her number down and told me to never hesitate to call. She was a nurse through and through. Heaven gained an angel.

Debbie was always destined to work in a hospital. I remember as children playing house. We decided that laburnam seeds looked just like peas.
We ate enough seeds for us to be rushed to hospital. On the plus side, we didn't have to have our stomachs pumped as we were sick all over the taxi before we got there! We had such a wonderful childhood together. Rest in peace my beautiful friend.
