The Legacy Lady
Debby founded Telos Legacies, a boutique writing house producing personalized autobiographical books and family legacy letters, in 2016 after the death of her mother and the realization that after the passing of each generation valuable family histories are lost forever.
Debby’s experience living overseas and interacting with many different cultures, coupled with a degree in Psychology, excellent writing skills, empathy, and perfectionism all come together in her vocation: preserving legacies.
Her experience has allowed her to develop a system to efficiently gather an individual’s memories through carefully crafted interviews, extract the deeper meaning and tell their stories in a broader family context, capturing their ancestral lineage, cultural heritage, faith traditions, holiday celebrations and crazy unforgettable quirks.
When not lost in writing, Debby treasures time spent with her children (a 22-year-old son and a 17-year-old daughter), her pets (4 cats and 2 dogs, all rescues, but with full pedigree names!), crafting (just about anything involving needles and yarn), and gardening (flowers, not foods).
