Debbie Gill

Born in Ohio and raised in West Virginia , I am the oldest sister of the Executive Director, Rebecca (Becki Jo) Carey, and the Auntie of Carey and Gracie Pope. I have been married to Steve Gill for 16 years and I’m the parent of canine super dog Stella Gill, a Bichon Frise, and stray cat, Amy- of whom I am allergic to but love dearly. A graduate of West Virginia University in 1983, I have been the sibling accountant/tax preparer for years. My saying is “Progress, not perfection, as this is attainable”…and some day I will accept this as attainable by me not just other people. My epitaph will read, “She was a good time. And a good time was had by all”.

Career information

My experience lies heavily in tax preparation, accounting, administrative duties, and tech. Support and I have a license to sell insurance. A few years ago my sister was helping to volunteer for Horse Rescue, Relief and Retirement Fund, Inc. and asked me to help do research to find out what information was required to get the tax-exempt status. After months of writing and rewriting the application I sent the application in and within a year the rescue had it’s 501-©(3) tax-exempt status. A few years later, Becki Jo asked me to help her prepare her application for a new non-profit organization she wanted to create. Together with the aid of a wonderful CPA named David Cantrell, located in Cumming, we were awarded the 501-©(3) tax-exempt status as well.

Interests

I am hoping to up for the “World’s Greatest Auntie” award for 2002. My interests other than my family and friends are a love for cooking and gardening.

Background

Watching money is what I do best, but the need for trust and integrity in this area is what called my name. Some may think me cheap. I prefer thrifty. The devils in the details and I’m right in there with him to make sure money spent was spent wisely and has an accessible and correct paper trail.
