Debbie graduated from Lisbon High School in 1975. She married Donald Starbird in 1981 and they raised two children. Over the years she worked at L.L.

Debbie loved the outdoors and being with nature. She especially loved the ocean. She enjoyed long car rides to explore and taking pictures everywhere she went. She loved taking care of her flower gardens and her bees that she took care of with her father. She truly enjoyed being with her children and grandchildren and was so proud of their accomplishments.

Debra was predeceased by both of the parents, Mary and Carroll; her sister Donna, her brother Darryl; and her husband Donald.
