It is with broken hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of Debbie on May 13, 2017 at the age of 59, after a courageous 3 year battle with cancer. Debbie leaves behind her best friend and partner, Roger Tofflemire. Cherished and devoted mom to Brian Ross and Leigha and Lucas Helferty, and their father Jim Ross. Proud grandmother to the light of her life, Liam. Survived by her dear parents Mary and Michael Sopper. Will be remembered by her loving sisters Linda and Jim Tiborcz, Monica and Gerry Vermeiren and Cindy and Dwayne Quick. Debbie will be missed by many nieces, nephews, extended family and friends. Her furry companion Buddy will miss the many walks and adventures they experienced together, and Hilly will miss the love and cuddles Debbie would provide. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Windsor Regional Cancer Centre, Hospice of Windsor, and the St. Elizabeth nurses, especially Nurse Mary Anne, for all of their care and compassion shown to Debbie throughout the years.
