Debbe was
extremely active in the Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club.
President of
the SFEC Rob Coffey released the following statement:
It is with a heavy heart that I inform our
membership of the recent passing of Debbe Starr on 10/27/2014 at Shore Memorial
Hospital. Debbe was battling pneumonia
over the last week and she was with Tom, family and friends at her passing.
Debbe was a longtime board member of the
Strathmere Fishing and Environmental Club who greatly devoted her time and
effort to keep us all up to date on dues, planned Winter and Summer socials,
organized the Jane Shetler Memorial tournament, served as weighmaster for
countless tournaments, helped with Nightmare raffles and judging events and was
our current Personnel Officer on the SFEC board.
Debbe was a friend, colleague and longtime club
member who was greatly responsible for the strong membership of the SFEC. I always counted on Debbe to attend meetings
and laugh and joke around and give a big hug and a kiss when we attended board
meetings. She also called us out when we exaggerated fish stories or joked with
one another and really didn’t take any grief from anybody. She was a true grit when it came down to
business and was a trustworthy board member who always had solid input and
direction for the club business. Debbe was a wonderful lady who just made you
smile and laugh so we all could have a good time!
We will all miss Debbe greatly and her valued
contributions to the Club. It is a sad day to lose one of our members and
especially a longtime board member who devoted so much of her time to the
ongoing success and greatness of the SFEC.
Please
pass on your prayers and support to Tom Starr and the entire Starr family during
this difficult time.
