Debra's Story
Debra's first home was in Dearborn before moving to Dearborn Heights just prior to attending first grade at Fred C. Fischer Elementary. Then came John Hill Junior High and graduation from Cherry Hill High in 1975. After that, she lived in Southfield, Westland and, since 1983, in Livonia. Debra graduated in 1991 from Detroit College of Business (now Davenport University) with a BS in Marketing. She worked at J.

He'd been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer only a month and a half before his death.
Debra honors Kirk by traveling to places she knows he would have enjoyed.

She's also been a board member on two non-profit organizations over the years; the CHHS Alumni Association and her community's HOA.
