Debbie was a longtime employee of Dashwood Industries and Eric Campbell Ford Lincoln. She will be greatly missed by her family, friends and neighbours. Special thanks to Charlene Foxton and the volunteers and staff at Jessica’s House for their care and compassion.

Condolences Brian, Nevin and family. This came as a big shock to me.
I knew Deb from Dashwood Industries but got to work with her at Eric Campbell’s. She took me under her wing and showed me the ropes. We had quite a few laughs my short time there.
Deb was big on family and talked a lot about her son often and with pride.
I see he now has a few kids and she would of loved being a grandma.
I am so sorry for your loss Brian, Nevin and family. Take care of each other.

Dear: Brian, Nevin, Megan, Granddaughters: Oaklyn & Halston
MacGregor & Hodgins Families / Friends . . .

There are no words to ease the pain of losing a loved one far too young from such a horrible disease. 💔 We offer our sincerest condolences to all of you during this immensely sad time with the passing of Debbie. Her early departure from your lives will leave an immeasurable void in your hearts, but know she loved her family & friends unconditionally. 🙏🏻 She touched so many lives, leaving a profound impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her. I got to know Debbie while working side-by-side as co-workers in the front office at Eric Campbell’s dealership for many years. Debbie was a very loyal & dedicated employee who enjoyed & loved her job (while having fun & joking around). Both her & I had great times, sharing & laughing at countless stories & interesting conversations, mostly concerning our families. ❤️ Her pride & joy was Nevin, she was so very proud of his accomplishments & she was looking so forward to becoming a grandma one day. I am so glad that she was blessed with that opportunity & that she enjoyed precious time loving her two beautiful granddaughters. Debbie’s earthly struggles are now over – she is now reunited with loved ones in Heaven. Her memory will forever live on, in the stories, laughter & love you shared as a family & may they heal your hearts & brings smiles through your tears. ❤️ Rest in Peace Debbie! ❤️

❤️ “Don’t cry because I’m gone; Smile brightly because I lived.” ❤️

The loss of a wife is losing your forever partner/soulmate & greatest love.
The loss of a mother is losing part of your legacy/beacon of strength & role model.
The loss of a grandmother is losing part of your patriarch who sowed seeds of love & wisdom.
The loss of a daughter-in-law is losing a dear daughter with so much spirit & a good heart full of love.
The loss of a sister is losing part of your childhood.
The loss of a sister-in-law is losing a lifelong friend.
The loss of a dear friend is losing a unique friendship.

❤️ “When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them, but to live with the love they left behind.” ❤️

Sending prayers of healing, may your family find strength & peace in each other now – you are surrounded by the love of family & friends to help you through the difficult days of mourning & grief that lay ahead. ❤️🙏🏻❤️

💞 Love & Hugs, Clare & Brenda (Parsons) Martene & Family💞

Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of Deb.
Deb was truly a very kind and special person and a very trusted employer. She treated our business and and interest like it was her own…her dignity, respect to our family, (the grandchildren adored her)
and our privacy was always maintained .. She was loved by our customers and staff..
That alone shows what a great lady she was. Hard worker with true grit and and truly one of a kind lady.
She sure loved you Brian, Nevin, Megan & and those special grandchildren. Keep those memories close and be so proud of the great person she was..

Your friends Eric and Liz Campbell

Condolence from Nathan, Leesa and the boys on February 27th, 2025 10:47 AM

Debbie was a wonderful lady that lit up a room when she was there. She always had a smile on her face. We will remember her for how kind she was and how she treated our boys as if they were her own grandkids. our boys treated her and Brian as another set of grandparents making special trips at halloween just to show them their costumes a tradition we had ever since Declan was born. We will truly miss what a wonderful person she was but will never forget her and how she touched us all.

Condolence from Bob and Joyce and family on February 27th, 2025 10:57 AM

Sending my sincerest condolences to you all. It was heartbreaking to hear of Deb’s passing. I have so many fond memories as a child of you guys at our house, and us at yours. Many Christmas eves and late nights hearing the fun and laughter, and maybe a few curse words, going on. There are some people in life who always have a place in your memories and heart throughout the years, and you guys are definitely one of them. Thinking of you all at this very sad and difficult time.
