Through direct contact and the keywords used to find my blog, which has exploded over the past month, I've been made aware that Debby Berry passed away in December of 2019.
The main thing people seem to want to see is the 60 Minute segment. CBS removed it from Youtube and it can now only be viewed on their website here It Takes One To Know One - CBS Newswww.cbsnews.com › news › it-takes-one-to-know-one-19-05-2005. Or you can Google "It Takes One To Know One 60 Minutes".
I reached out to her daughter to inquire as to why there has not been an obituary or service. Her daughter has no information, only speculative guesses. She said that she had reached out to her mother to mend fences before she passed away and did not hear back. She does not have a copy of the 60 Minutes video either.
Her guess regarding the obituary and service was that Debby did not have many, if any, direct, personal relationships. She had no relationship with her daughter, step daughter or grandchildren. Her lifelong best friend ended the relationship due to Debby's illegal activities and witnessed treatment of her child and grandchildren. Any other friendships were mostly decades old without any new, real interactions and were mostly kept up via social media. Along with this, many of her recent friendships seemed to be all online based.
Another idea is finances- as far as she last knew, her mother and stepfather refused to work for anyone but themselves, for various reasons. This has often led to financial issues.
Her daughter is devastated and mad. I can only imagine. She said that people have been coming out of the woodwork to her with their own stories and concerns about Debby. She also said that she has come under a lot of criticism and condemnation for public posts she has made documenting Debby's abuse and true character.
She and others have contacted me and asked me if I plan on keeping this blog up. Yes. Because Debby's words are still out there, the effect of Debby's choices are affecting numerous people, because there are people still questioning their Holy Spirit instincts on Debby, or the pause that they have felt in their hearts towards her, and because, a sentiment I read on her daughter's page and agree with, I believe people should be remembered in their entirety.
