Words cannot describe how sorry Elgin and I are to hear of Debs passing. She had an amazing sense of humour and she was always a kind and caring person. She was always someone who would genuinely listen and she was always willing to help out if she could. Our condolences to the family.
So sorry to hear that Deb has passed. Condolences to the family circle.
Josh, Seth & families: I was so fortunate to have met your mom. Not long after I met Kim in 2007, she introduced me to your mom. Full of laughter and an ability to recall just about anything from her past. We’d be sharing a meal at The Buttermilk and the stories were coming rapid fire. I struggled to keep up. All the while listening, learning about Deb’s past (& Kim’s). She had her struggles but NEVER let them get her down. She never complained! So proud to call your mom my friend. Thoughts and prayers to you all. Most sincerely, Tim
Take way too soon my friend. Condolences to the family. Her memories will last forever
Josh, Seth and families, I'm so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to meet Debbie here at Legion Village. She always had a nice smile and was very friendly. Blessing to everyone.
I will miss Deb’s sense of humour and our lunches. Always upbeat and always wanted the best for her friends and family. What a trooper. Condolences to Deb’s sons and family. Sore high Deb. 💕
To Josh and Seth, the Cole family send sympathy to you and your families at this sad time. Mom is remembered for her quick smile and always friendly attitude.
Seth and Josh im so sorry. Our deepest condolences.
Our lovely Deb. No matter her struggles, she always was up for going out to lunch and "catching up". I will miss our visits. We joked that she kept moving but I always found her! Keep on laughing Deb.
So very sorry to read of the passing of Deb. We had so many laughs together going to yard sales, and auctions. Remember her also saying when it got cold and snow was falling, do I really have to take my sandles off. RIP dear Deb
Rest in peace my Beautiful life long friend. Love to Tim. Josh and Jess and Seth and Heather. My your memories and the love of her will help you through this❤️🪽
What a beautiful photo of your Mom Josh & Seth !! Thinking of you with love & sending strength to you and your wives Jessica & Heather. 💕 I, along with so many of Deb’s friends will miss her with the deepest intensity. Your Mom was such a special person to me & I just adored her from the moment I met her as I kid. (We were @ the Met with our Moms trying on the same bathing suit! 😘) When we were in public school we’d see each other on occasion sometimes noting & giggling at the same outfits we sported then too. In high school we became closer resulting in a lifetime of great friendship, admiration, love & respect. Always picking up where we left off while we enjoyed different lives… her raising you boys in Cobourg while I was in the city. We always had fun reconnecting here in Cobourg or her visits to big smoke. (Remember the pub crawl after your shift Josh?) Deb truly perfected the art of friendship as so many of us acknowledge & appreciate. I’ll always cherish you Deb and feel blessed to have been part of your orbit. ❤️ Thank you My Girl ❤️ I have no doubt Deb’s gorgeous spirit has more to offer the universe and she’s out there right now giving her all. You will never be gone Girl, just going on.
Our sincere condolences to Deb’s family. I went to high school with Deb and my husband John went to grade school with Deb. She had a smile that could light up a room. Funny and warm hearted. We stayed in touch via social media. She was a lovely person. Rosalind Mitchell & John Ewart
