Deb was both a colleague and friend to us at NETL. Always positive and always with a kind word which helped to brighten sometimes tough days. In particular, Deb was a Science Bowl Star. She volunteered to work with middle and high school students and teachers every year that we knew her at the annual Western PA Science Bowl. She loved to work behind the scenes (on kitchen detail no less!) and never wanted to be in the limelight... she was just happy to be part of efforts to help others. When a student needed something or had a question, she was there with a smile, kind word, solution to a challenge, and/or a warm hug. Deb was truly one whose mission was to help others and brighten their days. She will be greatly missed by the whole Western PA Science Bowl family. Our deepest sympathies and condolences to her family and all her many, many friends. (Alicia Delmastro, Mario Rybacki, & Ken Mechling)
