She graduated from Glynn Academy in 1973. She was an artist and loved blessing her friends and family with her art. Some of her art was featured on the cover of The Seaside Magazine. She was a member of Four Oaks Church where she was very active before her battle with cancer. Debora enjoyed meeting with her prayer group, attending Bible Studies, and visiting with her friends. Her door was always open and it was a normal site to see people there at various times of the day or night. She opened up her home to many people. She had a Chinese family who came to live with her to have their second child. They became part of her family as many people did that she opened up her home to. She also opened her home to a foreign exchange student from Japan. Mia Uchida also became a part of Debora’s family as well. Debora had a heart for the Chinese students who were attending FSU. She was concerned about where they would spend eternity. She had them over every Sunday evening for a Bible study and food. Many of them also became a part of her family. She was an avid runner who ran many half marathons, 5-k’s and 10-k’s. She completed the Disney Marathon for her 50th birthday along side her sister, Anita Livingston Rudzinski. She also had a heart for missions and has been to Peru, Nicaragua and China to share the love of Jesus. Survivors include her husband of 39 years, Bill Passetti; sons, Steven Passetti (Kelly) and Taylor Passetti (Ingrid) ; mother, Gladys Livingston Crawford (Jessie); sisters, Anita Livingston Rudzinski (Mike) and Donna Livingston Sowell (Dan); grandchildren, Sammy Passetti, Crisman Passetti and Oriana Debora Passetti and many nieces and nephews whom she dearly loved and had a special bond.
