Debra (McGarry) Spence of Bath died Dec. 29, 2014, after suffering a long illness with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Debra was born July 8, 1954. She was a vibrant, fun, loving, caring woman. She lived most of her life in Dresden and worked as a member service manager at Five County Credit Union in Bath. She finished her financial career working in the mortgage industry after a move to Florida in 1997. Debra enjoyed many vacations in Jamaica where her surviving spouse, Reginald Spence, resides. She also enjoyed many cruises to the Bahamas in her lifetime. She always loved to listen to her favorite artist, Bob Marley. It would be impossible to name her favorite song, as she had many.
