to many, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Aunt and Great Aunt passed away

after a courageous battle with cancer. Debbie was born to her parents Hubert

and Barbara Scarrow in Kelowna, BC and was raised in Winfield, BC. She grew

Debbie and Alan became parents win 1974 and continued on to have three

biological children and two adopted. They moved out to Alberta permanently

in 1976 for the soul purpose of employment. Debbie kept herself busy and

active as a parent as well as involved herself in numerous different jobs

throughout the years until she found her calling as a foster parent. She was

actively involved in a few voluntary roles for community clubs throughout the

years such as the Rochester Willing Workers & Rochester Community, Family

Support Society. As time progressed, Debbie and Alan ventured into providing

support for children in a group care setting and later created a successful

drive and support service program for families in need.

Debbie has left a lasting impression with many. Her ability to make all feel

welcomed and comfortable is a trait many share about her. She had such a

giving nature and could always find the positives and always seemed to be

able to make things better. Debbie was compassionate and dedicated and

family driven. She loved to travel and often invited others to join on these

excursions. Debbie was very sociable and her kind, giving and gentle spirit

made her a friend to all.
