Indianola, MS Sunday, February 12, 2017 I had the pleasure of being taught in nursing school by Deb's sweet sister and the I got the pleasure of working with Deb for several years at Drew. She was sweet and had a fiery spirit like no one I've ever known. She was definitely one of a kind and she will be dearly missed. Even after I moved to Mississippi she would occasionally surprise me with a phone call and we would spend at least 30 minutes reliving the good old times. She loved nursing and she loved her patients.Alvin and Irma James
