Her knowledge and love for music was a gift as she was a wonderful musician, playing piano, clarinet, baritone, and singing. Her most memorable moment with her own children would be helping them audition for band or prepare music for solo and ensemble which always resulted in superior ratings. She also enjoyed teaching her students at Barberton Middle School. Teaching was her calling, she loved her students, and they loved her in return, she was able to get the best from all of them.
Deb made friends throughout her life starting in high school with marching band, which she carried through college marching band, playing clarinet and baritone. She had a core group of running moms with whom she ran at least 10 Akron Marathon Relays. Her teaching career spanned a time in 4th grade at St Mark’s Lutheran School where she also played piano for the choir.
