Debbie started her career with Guyco where she took care of the payroll.  After that she went to work with Lampasas ISD starting out in the cafeteria and working her way up to payroll specialist when she retired.  After retirement she enjoyed spending time with her family and watching her grandkids.  She was a natural caregiver and spent most of her time out on the ranch helping Jerry while he was bailing hay all over the county.  She enjoyed sewing, cross stitching, crocheting and anything involving crafts.  She made many blankets and dresses and various other items for co-workers and her family and even learned how to make porcelain dolls.  She was also an amazing cook and known for her pea salad, her famous fruit salad and her "no nana" banana pudding.  She will be deeply missed by her family.
