We will always be thankful for Debbie and her service to this community,” the police department said in a Facebook post. “We mourn a great team member as Debbie was a friend to many, including the members of this agency and the City. Special thanks to the GPD members and other agencies who assisted the past few days with funeral arrangements.”
