WOODBURY Deborah L. (Wilson) Woodbury, 61, passed away peacefully at home on Thursday, February 16, 2012.

Debbie had an extraordinary gift for compassion, kindness, and comfort, not only to her clients, but to family and friends.

Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Helen L. and Wayne Wilson, sisters, Fonda Sturgeon and Sue Wilson, and her beloved husband, Frank H. “Rusty” Woodbury IV. Debbie is survived by her uncle in French Lick, IN, brother-in-law, Stephen Harlow Woodbury, Bradenton, FL; sister-in-law, Catherine Woodbury, New Bremen, OH, and lifelong friend, Suzi Kiene Reed. She will be greatly missed. The family would like to thank Heartland Hospice for their kindness and support to Debbie after the recent loss of her husband, Frank. An informal memorial service will be held from 5-6:30 p.m. on February 29th at Southridge Presbyterian Church, 5015 Buena Vista, Roeland Park, KS. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made in Debbie’s name to Heartland Hospice, 4601 College Blvd., Suite 160, Leawood, KS 66211.

    Wow! I truly am honored as all of the toehrs who submitted entries inspire me on daily basis! This party plan was a lot of fun to do… but for anyone who thinks party planning is not work…HA!! (Inspiration is one thing, but factoring in time sourcing vendors, scouting locations, planning logistics and actually executing parties… it’s no easy peasy cake walk!) PARTY PLANNERS provide a fantastic service (that can be undervalued!) so CHARGE WHAT YOU ARE WORTH EVERYONE! Pam, I do hope you had a super birthday! (You’re my MS!) BTW…38 Rocks!
