ABOUT DEBBIE
I began my real estate career 21 years ago at Cedar Creek Lake after moving here from DFW as a single mom with four young children. I halfway joke they raised themselves because they had to learn to cook, clean and do their own laundry while I was building my career working 7 days a week to support my family. We had fun and they learned independence. My kids, now grown, attended Mabank schools and were involved in little league and school sports, cheer, drill team, choir, band and Future Farmers of America. They grew up tubing and wake boarding on the lake with their friends. They also enjoyed spending time with their friends who lived on acreage where they hunted, four wheeled, cared for farm animals and grew up spending time outside more than inside.
LIVING THE LAKE LIFESTYLE TODAY
I am now enjoying the lake with my four grandchildren, Emma age 11, Blake age 8, Elliott age 4 and my youngest grandbaby Lorelai age 2. Blake is special because he has an extra chromosome that makes him all the more loveable! Please see the Giving Back Link for information on how to support the Down Syndrome Partnership of North Texas. I enjoy fishing off the dock with them, jumping around on the Lily Pad, pulling them on the tube behind the boat, teaching them to wakeboard, jet ski, and just relaxing on the deck watching the sunset as the stars come out. In the fall we roast marshmallows on the waterside firepit. Cedar Creek Lake is not only my home but my area of real estate expertise. I live on the lake full time so I live the lifestyle—which I love!
