Debra Hall grew up watching Lawrence Welk with her grandmother putting 45’s on the console and dancing for hours. Her friends affectionately named her “Disco Debra” as she usually is the first to start dancing at a party. She is the mother of two beautiful daughters, Julia and Kat, who she has embarrassed on numerous occasions with her inhibition to “cut a rug”. Debra’s love, Ray, is her rock and is always pushing her to be her best. She undoubtedly got the dance bug from her mom, Carol. She can still “cut up a rug” as does her sister Paula. Debra is a Paralegal at Mowrey Law Firm. Dan and the Mowrey Law Firm Rock Stars have become more like family over the years. Thanks to all her family and friends for their support and encouragement. Here’s to dancing! Today, tomorrow, and always! Disco Deb.
