Debra had a deep love for the Southwest, a soft spot for her lucky and thoroughly spoiled pets, and an enduring fondness for QVC finds, puzzles, politics, and a good White Russian. “Aunt Doo” also fiercely loved her nephew Nathan Miller (Amy) and nieces Abigail Zakhary (George), Marguerite Kosterman, and Adeline Kosterman, along with their children Elijah Zakhary and Rebecca and Naomi Miller. She was preceded in death by her father, David Miller, and her stepfather, Don Phillippe.
