She also loved spending Christmas with all of her loved ones; it was her favorite holiday. She enjoyed helping her companion, Fred, with his cows which gave her a lot of joy. She enjoyed reading, puzzles, and writing plays growing up. She collected Indian dolls, wolves, and dream catchers, and also Harry Potter things. She loved watching old movies and Westerns on television and playing games on her computer. She also loved traveling to different places with family. She enjoyed doing things for others, and also enjoyed doing crafts and liked to sew. Debbie was very shy and had a beautiful old soul with a heart of gold.
