Debbie died on May 31, 2004 of breast cancer that had metastazied into bone cancer. She was the Chief of Staff for the North Carolina Republican Party and lived in Raleigh. She is survived by her sister, Linda Beatty Bodenstab and a host of friends and family who miss her very much. The Honorable James Holshouser, former Governor of North Carolina and The Honorable William Cobey, former member of the United States House of Representatives gave the eulogies at Debbie's funeral service. The Honorable Libby Dole, our US Senator in 2004 from North Carolina, sent flowers to the memorial service.

 Debbie was my very closest friend, and we were really more like sisters than friends. She was always a mover and a shaker who got so much done in her lifetime. I was with her and her family when she died. I miss her so much!

 Debbie was on my mind a great deal during our reunion last weekend! She would have loved it and been right in the midst of planning it, if she had been given the chance. Debbie, you were missed!
