After living in NY State for many years, she and her young son, Gerry, moved to Lake Havasu City along with her mother, Alice, in 1990. Debbie worked for Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home for 15 years and was instrumental in the creation of The Family Pet Crematory. In 1999, Debbie married Robert John Pugh.
