Debbie will be remembered by her many friends in Oliver for her tireless efforts to improve the quality of life in the community, whether her passion for golf saw her immerse herself in arranging tournaments, a round or two with the ladies, setting up card and pokers nights, or simply dropping whatever she was doing to share a glass of wine with anyone who stopped by.

I would just like to say how very sorry I am to hear the sad news of Debbie’s passing. She and Harold were two people we met soon after we moved into Cherry Grove and enjoyed getting to know them both. Debbie was loved by everyone and such an asset on past social committees and in the golfing world. She loved life and I know the past two years were very difficult for her. her struggle is over. I pray God’;s peace for all the family in the days ahead. Sincerely, Betty-Jo Hetherington
