In loving memory of Debbie Ann Holburn who sadly passed away on 30th November 2023.

Debbie was a loving wife, mother, sister, daughter, a devoted friend to many and a loyal colleague. An avid reader and book enthusiast, Debbie also found joy in gardening, going for walks, and was usually singing beautifully along to a song (in harmony!) She was an incredibly thoughtful person, always putting others first and willing to help in any way she could. Deb was extremely organised, loved writing lists and would be the first to spot a spelling error! A truly genuine person who always remained positive, no matter the hardships she was facing. To say she will be sorely missed is a massive understatement.


--Debbie's chosen charity--

If you would like to donate in memory of Debbie, please take a look at the charity 'Little Lifts' and consider donating on this link: www.littlelifts.org.uk

When diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2023, Mum was given a 'Little Lifts' kit - a gift box full of self-care products for people about to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Mum's smile when first given the box (and each time she talked about it) was unparalleled, and having something positive to take away from all the negative news she had received really kept her going. At the moment, Little Lifts is partnered with 10 hospitals in the area, and I know Mum would've really wanted more breast cancer patients to experience the little slice of joy that she did.
