She is preceded in death by her parents, Barbara and William 'Jack' Galbraith, sister Delores Inez and brothers Billy G. and Joseph. Deb was born on May 20 ^th , 1952 in Highland Park, MI.

Deb was a fiery redhead with stunning blue eyes and a beautiful smile. She grew up in Clawson, where she walked the streets for a living. She retired from the U.S. Postal Service as a Clawson letter carrier after 26 years. Deb loved her postal customers but she loved retirement more.

Deb was a regular at local homeschool events. She was very involved with her daughter and grandchildren who referred to her lovingly as 'Giga'. She loved traveling, cooking, boating, gardening, good music, concerts, holding babies, spending time with her grandchildren, camping and watching the lake from her deck. She had a special way with children. Deb's final loving act was to give the gift of life through eye, and tissue donation.
