Very sad news

Many of u would have known Debbie Hoffren or DebbieH103 as she was known on Cruise Critic.

 

Debbie passed away in Jamaica on Monday. My heart goes out to her husband Todd and family.

 

Debbie was such a beautiful soul, with so much spark. The world has lost a true champion. May she RIP.

 

Cheers

I have been an active reader of this forum since our first cruise in 2009. I remember DebbieH103's posts fondly. I am very sorry for our collective loss.

Debbie was a wonderful person, caring TA and loved Jamacia and its people. I cruised with her in 2007 and continued our friendship online with emails, Facebook exchanges and online chats. Here is the article about her death. http://www.jamaicaobserver.com/news/US-woman-dies-in-Cornwall-Regional-hospital-after-beating where the story continues to change. Truly horrible way to die.

Thanks Jennifer for sharing this tragic news. Debbie was such a generous soul--we have known Debbie since 2004 and were with Beth (NCCruzQueen) in 2007 where Ida and I met Debbie on board a Regent ship. Debbie and Todd loved Silversea..below is the thread she posted on the Spirit's maiden voyage:

Ging466/Jennifer...we will take a few moments next month to remember Debbie when we are together in Sydney.

This is tragic. I never met Debbie personally, but eagerly followed her trip reports and loved her sense of fun.

What a tragedy! A woman who truly enjoyed her life. R.I.P.
