Debbie was a school bus driver for the North Clackamas School District for 26 years. She was a mother who loved to bake pies, cookies, and make jams and jellies for the holidays. Loved by the kids she drove, and a friend to everyone, she was always willing to lend a helping hand, plan a party or drag you to the dance floor for songs like Celebration, YMCA or the Twist. She enjoyed shopping, movies, music, camping, the Oregon Coast, and collecting fairies and angels. Debbie was preceded in death by her mother, grandparents, and aunts and uncles on both sides of her parents' families. She is survived by her husband, Dave; daughter, Trisha (Spencer) McGrath-Agg; son, Aaron (Becky) Andrews; father, Robert Storkel; brother, Mike (Connie) Storkel; and five grandchildren: Brittany, David, Ayden, Alice and Grace.
