Debbe is such a joy to be around, and we are thrilled to have her as a part of the staff at MRPC. She seeks to be gentle and open as she and counselees look at how the scriptures speak to individual circumstances. Conversations with Debbe feel like time spent with a dear friend.
Debbe has been happily married to Rod for 36 years and has a grown daughter who also lives in Greenville. Surprisingly, Debbe describes herself as an introvert.
