Debbie was born July 28, 1955 in Caro, Michigan the daughter of Arthur and Corrine (Huff) Smith. On November 15, 1974 at the Middleton residence in Northport she married Samuel Middleton who survives.

She was a wonderful mother who was always there for us when we needed her. She also made time for anyone, family or not, that needed her. To be the son of Debbie was the best experience anyone could have. She was the best mother and will be dearly missed.

Debbie is survived by her husband, Sam; two children, Barry (Jennifer) Middleton, Randy Middleton, a sister in law, Marion Huff, her sisters Shirley Napier, Dolly Lindal, and a granddaughter, Amber Middleton.

She was preceded in death by her parents, and a brother, Leonard Huff.
