Debbie R was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. She is the second of seven kids in her family and has four sisters and two brothers. Debbie’s parents were life time members of the Church. She has always been an active member. Her father was a MD in the Air Force which necessitated a great deal of transferring until she reached the age of twelve. Debbie lived in Japan for three years as a child with fond memories of Japanese culture and the Japanese people’s obsession with her blonde hair.
The family finally settled down in Shelley, Idaho with horses, cows and a propensity of falling off of them and fracturing in time both arms. While attending high school, her hobbies included choir, band, basketball, softball and Church volleyball.
Brian came on the scene in a rock climbing class at BYU. The special place was Rock Canyon, above campus. That and many other shared interests cause them to tie the knot and has not been severed for twenty-five years. Right after the wedding, Debbie enrolled in medical school at the University of Utah. Her residency was in Denver at Children’s Hospital in Pediatric Medicine. She now works two days a week in Louisville in a pediatric practice. Dr. Deb loves to hold babies and fix kids. Someday, she would like to serve a medical mission in Africa with her beau, Dr. Brian.
She has always loved the outdoors. Rock climbing was an easy transition involving the outdoors. Debbie enjoys backpacking, hiking, skiing, ice climbing, mountain biking and anything else which involves the outdoors. Do not think for a moment that she limits herself to only the above activities. Let’s add music, piano playing, trumpet, guitar and composing music. If she could squeeze in more time, there would be classes at CU involving music composition (as if she doesn’t already have a angelic gift). Just in case boredom sets in, she has traveled to Nepal (two years ago) and scaled Mount Everest only because it was there.
Last but not least are three incredible daughters that have graced their home who have surpassed all IQ scores, stunned everyone with their beauty, and impressed others with incredible testimonies. Debbie’s ultimate wish is that they become a forever family. (Summarized by Gregg Johnson)
