Debbie served the Parkway School District for more than 30 years as a teacher and instructional coach. A life-long learner, Debbie constantly sought out ways to learn and develop her skills, always keeping children at the center of her work. Debbie created innovative literacy programs, mentored countless teachers and saw the potential in each child. She was a trailblazer and her legacy of instilling a genuine love to read will outlive her for generations to come.

Debbie married Dale Poslosky on May 28, 1978. They met as camp counselors at Lucky Day Camp when they were teenagers and were married for 43 years. Debbie called Dale her rock, and through all of the valleys and peaks of their lives together, their love remained a continued source of strength.
