Debbie grew up in Lakewood CA, with her parents, siblings, and grandmother in a very loving home. She graduated from Mayfair high school where she met the father of her children Paul Hyland. Together they had three children.
Debbie loved walking and she walked a few miles every day, she said it was “good for her soul”. Debbie had such a big tender heart. She loved God, her family and music, writing, composing, recording. Playing beautiful music on her piano gave her so much joy.
She is survived by her siblings, Loretta Troutman of Salem OR, Bill Sweeney of Phoenix AZ, Betty Troutman and husband Don Troutman of Central point Or, Kelly West and husband Dave of Gallatin TN.
Also surviving are her son, Paul Hyland Jr of Tampa FL, daughters April Gorman and husband Jonathan of Hoschton, GA and Andrea Ives and husband Robinson of Crescent City, CA.
She also leaves behind her grandchildren, Jacob McCormack of Salem NH, Ellora McCormack of Somersworth NH, Christian Hyland of Drum NY, Kaitlyn Hyland of Brooklyn CT, Cole Ives and Chloe Ives both of Crescent City CA.
We are comforted knowing she was welcomed into heaven by her parents Frank Sweeney and Jewell Sweeney and her grandchildren Nicolas Hyland and Ashley Hyland.
