"I was thinking more clearly again"
Debra has had a long career in law enforcement and she stays busy these days working in her community’s schools providing support for youngsters facing special challenges in their lives. Her husband Robert retired as a deputy in the a sheriff's department, and he is beginning a new chapter in his life working in security.
“Just living life can be pretty stressful, but it’s also very rewarding,” Debra says, clearly proud of her active family, and how they’ve all gone through life with a genuine commitment to being of service to others in their community and the even wider world beyond Denver.
As parents, Robert and Debra have always tried to live an active, service-driven life that’s imbued with the importance and value of helping others. Before becoming a sheriff'sdeputy, for instance, Robert served in the U.S. military, and as a sheriff’s deputy, he focused on enforcing the law while treating everyone with respect. After stepping down from her post law enforcement, Debra served for many years as a volunteer paraprofessional in her neighborhood school before she began working as a paraprofessional in the local schools.
“I’ve had a great memory my whole life,” she explains. “My memory got kind of less sharp, which I believe came from a hectic, full and busy life. Then one day about a year and a half ago, I saw a commercial for Prevagen on television and decided to give it a try.”
Over time, Debra noticed an improvement in her memory. “I was thinking more clearly again,” she says, “and able to exercise my brain.”
In their active, busy and engaged lives, Debra and Robert are good examples of an active family and a lifetime of service to others.
