While working at the paper mill, Debbie met Scott Parsons. For their first date, they went to Sault Ste. Marie and rode the famous Snow Train. It was such an amazing first date, Debbie’s heart was completely devoted to him for the rest of her life.

In her free time, she enjoyed taking trips to the casino or heading out on the motorcycle with Scott to go on a joy ride, or travel across the country. She also liked quiet moments of reading, working on puzzles to keep her mind sharp or heading to her parents’ cottage in Oconto for a little rest and relaxation. She especially loved Christmas, this time of the year, she would sit contently watching all of the Hallmark Christmas Movies on television.
