I am so saddened to hear of the passing of Deborah. Everytime I came to Clarksburg, I would always bump into her and get a chance to talk with her, it never failed. She always brought me back to those times of my youth, when life was new. So much wisdom, so much love for her God, so much love for her friends, family, and family of God. I looked so forward to talking with her, this year at the reunion. Deborah you will be missed. You're with God and the angels, now. May peace come to your family.

My deepest sympathy

Posted by Virginia Jefferson on July 5, 2016

To the family of sweet Deborah I extend my sympathy and hopes for God to comfort you all. Deborah and I worked together for a few years, and she was always so uplifting, and we shared a lot of joy and Bible verses. She made an indelible spiritual mark on my life. I know we will meet again, and in the meantime I will always remember her encouragement and love. She really knew how to let the Lord shine through her. God bless you all as you cherish your special spiritual heritage in Deborah.

I was sadden to hear that Minister Helm had passed. I not to long saw her and had a wonderful conversation with her. She told me (as she smiled) that she felt good and is blessed. I responded and said yes you do and yes you are. Min. Helm was always very kind to me and always had words of wisdom to feed your soul. She will be dearly missed.......my prayers go out to the family.

My heart is heavy to hear of the passing of Min. Deb. I did not know her long like most but for our short time Of acquaintance she carried a special place in my heart. I only wish I could have sat with her more ...she alway had a good word to share and alway with a smile. God rest her soul. Prays and condolences extended to the family.

My heart has been heavy since learning of Debbie's transition to God's heavenly kingdom from a MSBC memberl ast night at 7:52 pm. I shall never forget the great time we shared among family and friends. Her kindred spirit will always live with me. She has been a part of the Dooley Family for several years. She thought enough of me to pay a visit while I lived in Alexandria, Va to meet my child. We are heart broken. However, we know God knows best. We must praise God in his choosing of Debbie, that he gave her a new transformation to a heaven being on the day she was brought into this earthly life. She was also a great choir member when I served as the Director of the Clarksburg Community Choir. Our lovely lady will be sorely missed. Her smile always generated true love toward everyone. To the family, you all have my deepest sympathy. Words simply cannot express my feelings. Love, Jacque

Debby and I graduated together. She was a wonderful young woman who demonstrated Christ even then. I hadn't seen her in a long time, but often thought of her. Her life was well spent.... I know she will be sorely missed by her family, friends and her congregation. She is definitely with Jesus now!!! See you again one day, my old friend! Becky Rozzell Rogers.... WI Class of 1968 ??

I will truly miss Minister Helm or \"Debbie\" as our families grew up together in Clarksburg. She was a sweet somebody she and Ralph and Barbara have such kindred souls. Debbie will be definitely be missed by me and my daughters, Veronica and Stefanie. I know she had a special place in her heart for Stefanie. She always believed in Stefanie and that really meant and means so much to me. I just loved Debbie she was a beautiful spirit inside and out. I will miss her infectious laugh and her beautiful smile. She always had a way of making you feel special. God has yet gained another angel. No more sickness and no more pain will be shared by Debbie in this world. She is in a much better place in which I am so glad for her. We will miss her down her but I know she is having such a good time up there. My sincere condolences to the rest of her family. Praying for all of you, May God always be with you and much peace and love. Annie E. (Jones) Little with Veronica and Stefanie

Words do not even begin to say how much I loved this woman. We began our Postal Career together in 1979 and have been friends from the first hello. I will never forget our great times together. And the first time I met her two little beautiful children. It is so hard for me to say goodbye to think she is no longer a phone call away. However, I know God needed her and she was the only one that could handle whatever it was. She is surely walking with the Angels today singing and free of pain. I love you Deborah...until we meet again. Beth
