In loving memory of Debbie Orum Singleton,

As we gather to honor your beautiful soul, we cannot help but reminisce about the vibrant and remarkable woman you were. Your love for shopping was unmatched, and your ability to find something cute for every occasion was truly admirable. Whether it was a special event or just a casual outing, you always managed to radiate elegance and style.

Oh, how we miss seeing you on the dance floor, Debbie! Your energy was infectious, and your moves were simply mesmerizing. You could dance the hustle with the best of them, and your passion for dancing brought joy to everyone around you. We can still hear the laughter and applause that filled the room whenever you graced us with your presence.

One thing we will always remember about you, Debbie, is your unwavering dedication to your soap operas. For over 40 years, you faithfully recorded every episode, never missing a single moment of drama and intrigue. Your commitment to these shows was a testament to your loyalty and the importance you placed on the simple pleasures in life.

You were a kind-hearted soul, Debbie, but you never allowed anyone to walk all over you. You had a strength and resilience that commanded respect. You would give the shirt off your back to someone in need, but you also taught us the value of standing up for ourselves and not tolerating mistreatment. Your powerful presence was a force to be reckoned with, yet your spirit remained soft and gentle.

Today, we mourn the loss of a remarkable woman who touched our lives in countless ways. Your absence leaves a void that can never be filled. However, we find solace in knowing that your memory will forever live on in our hearts. Your love for shopping, your incredible dance moves, your dedication to your soap operas, and your unwavering strength are all part of the beautiful legacy you have left behind.

Debbie, as we bid you farewell, we do so with heavy hearts but also with gratitude for the time we were blessed to have you in our lives. May your soul find eternal peace, and may your spirit continue to inspire us to live life to the fullest, just as you did.

With deepest sympathy and love,
