She was the youngest of two older brothers, Calvin Douglas and Marshall Grey. She attended Wheatridge High School and participated in the concert and marching band playing the flute and the baritone. After graduation she worked at Arlens Department Store at the soda counter after Arlens she worked at the Colorado National Bank in the night depository and she became the supervisor. During her time at the bank, she met the love of her life, David Lew White.  Debi and David were united in marriage on December 27, 1975. To that union, 14 children were born. With each wonderful God-given child that was born Debi’s love just multiplied. She always talked about adoption and when her lovely grandchildren started coming, she was so happy to be a “Nana”.

She worked with the USPS in Sargent, Comstock, Mason City, Anselmo (on and off) and Taylor (which she worked at for the past three years) until her death.
