Deb will be deeply missed at Cottage Hospital. She was an excellent director of our Case Management department and a true patient advocate. Countless patients in our community were served directly or indirectly through her leadership. Throughout her illness, Deb remained positive and optimistic – a powerful example to all of us. The Cottage family extends our heartfelt condolences and we wish her daughters and extended family peace during this difficult time.
SHE WAS A VERY SWEET LADY
On behalf of Cottage perioperative services I would like to send our condolences to Deb’s family. We will remember her as a diligent worker and a great patient advocate. She will be missed immensely.
Deb will be greatly missed by everyone at Cottage. She was a wonderful person and I will miss greeting her in the hall and hearing stories about her latest batch of pups.
We were deeply saddened to hear of Deb’s passing. She has been a friend for many years and has provided us with much love and companionship through the Schnauzer puppies that we received from her. She will be missed at the Storlie house and by many dog lovers in Iowa, Illinois and elsewhere. Thanks Deb for all the memories!!
