Deborah
In Loving Memory
Our beautiful loving free spirit daughter Debby committed suicide on 30 July 1994. Her failed marriage and broken relationship with her birth mother apparently was too much grief for her to handle.
Debby was born on 10 November, 1954. She never knew her birth father. When Jim returned from two years of military service overseas he married her mother Mary Ann Flanders with whom he had a brief relationship before entering military service. He immediately fell in love with Debby and adopted her. When Jim’s marriage failed because of Mary Ann’s infidelity with John Haswell, a Navy medical doctor she met at the Patuxent River Naval Air Test Center, MD .while Jim was stationed there, her mother informed Debby that Jim wasn’t her real father.
She then grew up in an unhealthy relationship with her mother and step-father in Vincennes, IN, After high school graduation, she had a free spirit boyfriend ,John Dora, with whom Debby made 60+ parachute jumps. She then attended and graduated from Western Colorado University in Gunnison, CO. Next was nursing school in Los Angeles, CA. When she returned to Vincennes IN, she met and married Greg Adams and moved to Sarasota, FL Her mother and stepfather then followed her to Sarasota where Debby had a very bad relationship with her mother. It was there that she took her own life.
