Deborah's Story
These past years have spun pass like a whirlwind and it truly doesn't seem like it has been 50 years since attending Crenshaw High. I am a widow now having loss the love of my life and have 4 wonderful children and 3 beautiful grandchildren. I am also blessed to have extended sons and daughters which have adopted me into their families. I love being a Mom and Grandma, it is the greatest joy in my life.
I am a survivor of a brain tumor which after the surgery has left me with some memory loss, chronic migraines and visual challenges but I am persevering. Following the removal of the brain tumor I left my position as Asst./VP Branch Manager for a major mortgage banking firm and became a stay at home Mom which I have enjoyed and found very rewarding.. Life has presented its many highs and lows but I have no complaints. . I consider myself truly blessed by my Father in Heaven to still be here and to be experiencing the quality of life my doctors did not foresee.
I love to travel outside of the U.S. experiencing other regions in the world. I enjoy the adventure of being among...Expand for more
the people, their culture and surroundings especially outside of the every day tourist traps. So far I have been to France, Aruba, Jamaica, and Mexico and would like to visit Africa, Costa Rica, Asia, Fiji and various parts of Europe. I like trying different exotic cuisines but I doubt if I would eat rat or anything too far left for my palate. lol Looking forward I would like to experience skydiving in the very near future, well at least once. :) My music preferences are Jazz, classical music, R&B, Reggae and artist I listened to while growing up.
One of my favorite quotes is from the movie Auntie Mame....." Live. Live. Live. Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!" I've always remembered the class of 1971 as being insatiable partakers of the banquet of life.. So to you, my fellow classmates, bon appetit and I wish you always the best life has to offer
May Our Father in Heaven continually bless you and yours,
Deb
