After a life of love and quiet grace, Deborah "Deb" Dose, 62, has passed.
What follows is not the whole story, but a thread of it.
The story begins in 1956, with the arrival of a life that would be cherished by many.
Deborah spent her working life as ['a number of jobs before beginning her career at the courthouse'] and held deeply to the Baptist faith — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Some find their compass in faith. Deborah was among them.
