Everyone is calling her Deborah in their messages, but I knew her as Deb, or even Little Deb. I've not seen her in years so this news has shocked me. I know how she could be tough in adverse circumstances, and find humour in the darkest of situations. She crackled with life, I find it hard to imagine the world without her.

Donation by David Hopkin

What a larger-than-life person! Deborah was always ready to see the funnier side of things, and to bring no small amount of intelligence, common sense and perspective to any situation in the workplace. Thank you for that Deborah. I am pretty certain that, despite her illness and travails, she would have told us all to keep smiling.

Deborah: you kept me going in a very busy office with your skills and efficiency and at the same time your store of jokes kept me laughing, especially those on management-speak. In those three years of working together, you transformed the administration of the Chemistry Department and brought in excellent staff. Great skills, great humour and a love of life. You have left good memories that were always rekindled when we met round the campus. We'll miss you greatly. Robin.

I had some wonderful chats with Deborah where we would muse about the old Classics with me speaking as an Oxonian and her as an old member of a formerly all-male Cambridge college. She also assisted me in my application for departmental travel grants in 2015 for which I am very grateful. She was a wonderful presence in our department always making sure that everything was in place, a terrific colleague who would often work late and be the last to leave our building, and a fantastic soul who now rests in eternal peace under God's embrace. Thank you Deborah for all that you have done for us. You will be much missed.

Donation by Keith Tse

Thank you Deborah for being the most wonderful colleague and friend. You made the Department the happy and well-functioning institution that it is. You had patience and a wicked sense of humour. And you had a natural authority, gained by your good judgement. But it's the fun and the banter that I'll remember especially. Thank you, again, Deborah.

Donation by Paul Kerswill

I was stunned and deeply saddened to hear that Debs has passed away. She fought so long and so hard but always spoke frankly and openly about the cancer and how things would end. I will remember many lively fishy Fridays in Vanbrugh restaurant over the years! She was witty, amusing, and highly intelligent with a very down to earth sense of humour and it was always fun. Her chuckle would spread across the huge dining room and so many people would nod and wave as they passed. She had great energy and enthusiasm, and loved the University, her department and her job. I wish I'd made time for one more cup of tea with her because one day 'tomorrow' won't come. Thoughts are with her family at this dreadful time.

Thanks so much to the Hospice staff for ensuring Deborah's end of life was as dignified and comfortable as possible. We always knew that Deborah would succeed at whatever she chose to do. However it is her legacy of kindness and humour that we are proudest of her for. It is obvious from the tributes here that she has had a positive effect on the lives of many. She will be sorely missed by us all. Rest in Peace. Uncle Richard and Aunt Helen.

Deborah was one of my very best friends at secondary school in Loughborough. Although we lost touch following graduation I have many fond memories of our teenage years; including waitressing at wedding receptions, working in her grandma's cafe and starting our very first chip pan fire! She was a clever, fun-loving, kind person with a fantastic wardrobe from which I'd often borrow items (it was the eighties after all!) From the tributes left here it sounds like she hadn't changed at all and she left a big impression on so many. My condolences to her family and all her friends. RIP Debs xxx

I first met Deborah when I was external examiner in Linguistics at York and we got on like a house on fire. We both shared a determination to create a slick system that was as efficient as it was fair. I saw her for the last time in early December last year and was delighted to see the twinkle still in her eye even though she had already been through so much. Karen x

Deb, you were an inspiration, dealing with your illness with dignity, bravery and positivity, keeping your smile and great sense of humour right to the end. You were an amazing woman and friend and I have hilarious memories of our adventures together, which I could never have had with anyone else. When we first met, your sharp wit had us laughing for hours. You loved life and I am so sorry that it was taken from you too soon. You are constantly in my thoughts and I, and all who knew you, will miss your lively, fun and generous spirit terribly. Suz x

I first encountered Deborah at the Administrators' Forum when she was departmental manager in Chemistry and was struck by her obvious intelligence and her distinctive voice. When she moved to L&LS we came into contact occasionally and she was always warm and funny. I regret that I never got to know her well - she was clearly an amazing woman.

Donation by Helen Jacobs

Deborah was a wonderful friend as well as an excellent department manager. I was close to her at the start of her illness and so was able to appreciate first hand her amazing response to the tough diagnosis and the treatment that followed; her unstoppable humour kept both herself and the rest of us going over that time. I knew she was dying - though I have since moved far away - but it still came as a shock to hear the news this week; she remains such a vital presence in my mind. I am very grateful to the Hospice for making her last days more bearable.

We shared so many good times with Deb and have countless fond memories of unrepeatable escapades in which her clever sense of fun and mischief abounded. We were lucky to have been reunited as a group several times over recent years and to have benefitted again from her wit, wisdom and undimmed sparkle. With appreciation for all that the staff at St Leonard’s did for Deb this year, she gained so much comfort there. With love, school friends from LHS.

In memory of Deborah. Deb, you had a profound influence on me, both professionally (as, first my manager, then my mentor/cheerleader as I moved into management myself) and personally — the perfect compadre to watch an obscure film with at City Screen, followed by a bottle (or two) of red and many a cackle... Your fierce intellect and striking vision were extraordinary. You displayed fearlessness in the face of difficult decisions and significant challenges and the department was at the heart of everything you did. I had huge respect for you and how your mind worked and admiration for how you balanced a seriousness for your career with the most wicked sense of humour and social proclivity. All of us who had the privilege of knowing you sorely feel your loss and I send my love and condolences to Will and family.
