Deborah J. LeBlanc, beloved daughter of John and Carole LeBlanc, passed away suddenly September 24, 2011, at Providence Hospital, Everett.

She was born in Seattle on December 6, 1954 and raised in West Seattle, Des Moines and the Getchell area of Lake Stevens. She was a graduate of Marysville High School, worked in the seafood processing industry in Alaska for 15 years and was last employed at King and Prince Seafood in Redmond, WA.

Debbie was a most kind hearted lady who cherished her family and friends. She was a talented singer/musician and realized her dream of recording a CD of her music. She was a spiritual soul and had a special place in her heart for animals, especially her beloved horse “Peppi”. Her sense of humor and her love of laughter was a hallmark of her inviting personality. Debbie loved to travel and dreamt of returning to Costa Rica and Hawaii. She also loved dragons, horseback riding, rodeos, camping, and raspberry pie.

We will miss her and always hold her dear in our hearts.
