Funeral mass on Friday, March 22nd at 9:30 am at Our Lady of Angels Church at 7320 4th Avenue
Debbie would help anyone she could. Whenever she heard that animals were not being cared for, she called for people to help. She didn‘t hesitate to contact politicians or wanna-be politicians to assist those in need. I remember two Brooklyn residents were homeless and she called on many people to assist them and take care of their cats, which were in carriers in the St. Anselm’s parking lot. Debbie didn’t rest until the animals were taken care of.
Debbie loved all animals. She started the Bay Ridge Animal Lovers Group on Facebook. (Here) Debbie wrote this during the Summer near her birthday:
Debbie Stevens loved Bay Ridge and the people in this community.
She fought for seniors because she wanted them to have healthy food. She also wanted all of them to be able to go on day trips with the Senior Center and enjoy life. In 2019, I wrote about her here.
Debbie wanted people in the community to be safe:
She was a good neighbor who cared about people in Bay Ridge:
While she may have been at odds with politicians at times, she cared about their health too:
A GoFundMe was set up to help with the funeral expenses. (See here)
Prayers for her children.
Hugs,
