Debbie grew up in Aztec, New Mexico. From the time she was walking, Debbie loved hunting and camping out with family. Early in high school, Debbie was a Connie Mack Princess. When Debbie was 15, she met Richard Baldwin, the love of her life, and they married on February 24, 1976. There was nothing Debbie wouldn’t do, she was the jack of all trades and held many jobs. But her favorite job title was Mom and Nana. Debbie was very active in all the kids’ activities. From racing dirt bikes to drag racing, and all the ways you could race in between. But there was always time for hunting with her boys. Debbie cherished everything her family did as long as they were together. Debbie used painting as her therapy after her cancer diagnosis, and found a passion and incredible talent.
