Debbie is a survivor, she had made it through the murder of her husband in 1989, breast cancer in 2004, a stroke in 2016, and buried her oldest daughter, Christina Charlton Bradley in 2021. Despite the hardships she endured, Debbie still survived. She fought hard to remain in this world for her family. She used her love of music to guide her, support her emotionally, and bring joy to her family. She loved to sing and play her guitar. Debbie was employed for 32 years at Holston Valley Hospital, on Wilcox Hall W3 helping cancer survivors. She was a child of God whose fight has now ended.
