Seminole fan. Later she changed careers and worked in the insurance
industry as a Business Analyst. She was a member of Stetson Baptist Church
in Deland. Debbie was preceded in death by her father, Louie Stafford
Coggins. She is survived by her two daughters, Tasha and Kristina, whom she
graciously adopted from Russia to provide them with a loving family and a
bright, hopeful future. They were the loves of her life! Debbie is also
survived by her mother, Margaret Ragland Coggins, sister Paula O'Quinn
(David), brothers Les (Cathie), Ron, Jim (Dianne), and many nieces and
nephews. A memorial service will be held at Lohman Funeral Home in Deland
