Growing up in Bridgewater, Debbie now resides in Long Valley with her three sons, Greg, Alex and Lee, along with her 18-year-old cat, Shadow. She has a heart for all creatures great and small, having had 15 pets at one time, and enjoys watching and feeding the birds and squirrels in her backyard. When not working, Debbie enjoys spending time with friends and family, gardening, reading, and watching TV. She enjoys reading medical mysteries (Robin Cook) and Horror (Stephen King) as well as watching “older” TV sitcoms (Seinfeld, Friends and Everyone Loves Raymond ) and crime scene investigation TV shows.
Debbie’s personal philosophy: Giving is better than receiving.
