Debbie was born on August 23, 1960 in Norwich the daughter of Arnold & Patricia (Snell) White. She grew up in Norwich, attended the Norwich schools and was a member of the school swim team. While living in Morris she worked at T.J.Maxx in Oneonta which she thoroughly enjoyed and it helped her with her “shopping addiction”. She also had previously worked for J.C.Penny and the Erpf Estate in Arkville.
Debbie loved her family, enjoyed spending time with them and had a huge heart. She was always willing to help people, even if she didn’t have much to offer, which was a great help with her job at T.J.Maxx and where she was instrumental in putting together several fund raisers for local charities. Debbie enjoyed her gardening, drawing, offering up free advice and without question SHOPPING. She was a member of the Morris Emergency Squad, liked to bowl and swim.
