She is survived by her husband of over 20 years, Vernon H. Moret, Jr.; her sister Yvette Egle' of Covington, LA; her stepmother Eula Mae Naquin Egle' of Pointe au Chenes, LA; and her stepbrother Kirt P. Lebouef of Golden Meadow, LA. She was preceded in death by her mother, Beaulah Plaisance Egle'; her father Edward Milton Egle'; her sister Diana Egle' Esposito; her stepbrother Steve Lebouef; and her stepsister Joan Lebouef Guidry. Debbie was born on September 6, 1950, was raised in Golden Meadow, LA, and was the youngest of three daughters. Debbie and Vernon founded Financial Strategies Group in 2001 and she worked as the Administrative Manager for the business functions handling accounting, personnel, regulatory compliance, and maintenance of office technology. She had over 30 years of accounting and office management experience, including 20 years as a Financial Controller with Waste Management, holding positions in the United States and abroad. Debbie served many years in leadership positions with the Acadiana Symphony Orchestra as Treasurer, on the board of the Acadiana Symphony Women's League, and on numerous committees. She was co-chair of the 2005 River Ranch Music Festival; served on every Acadiana Symphony Showhouse committee; and was famous for her fabulous gift baskets at the annual Madhatter's luncheon. She was not only a lover of the symphony but was beloved by the members of the symphony and their board members. Debbie enjoyed gardening, traveling with husband Vernon, and all things food'she was a great cook and as her father used to say, 'the hostess with the mostess'. But above all, Debbie was a great friend to everyone who met her. She was always willing to listen, to lend a helping hand, and was adept at 'telling it like it is' in a way that made the recipient feel cared for and understood. Her outgoing and vibrant personality lit up every room she ever entered. She was vivacious, talented, and beautiful spiritually as well as physically. Her unflagging faith in the face of adversity was and will remain an example to all who knew her. She lived a beautiful life, and her glowing smile and infectiously happy personality will brighten Heaven in the same way she blessed so many lives.
