Debra is most proud of her family. She has been married for 32 years to her loving and caring husband, Angelo Curmaci, who also attended Keystone from 1976-1978, and played baseball for Dr. Michael Mould. A heart carved in a tree outside the former Brooks Gym (now Brooks Theatre) by Angelo when the two were dating while attending Keystone is still visible. Debra and Angelo have three children, Nikki Hay, Alyssa Blake, and Corey Curmaci, and two wonderful sons-in-law, Greg Hay and Robinson Blake.
