DEBORAH WASHINGTON SAUCIER
... Missing since January 8, 2019
“She provided school supplies for those in need from her own personal funds, clothing, sweaters, if the need was there.”
Her last year teaching at Blake High School was 2010. Her daughter further said,
that Ms. Saucier is very cre- ative and possesses a love of decorating homes and arts and crafts. Ms. Saucier was in the process of starting an online business to sell things she has designed and created.
Her family is very con- cerned and they are asking anyone with information per- taining to her whereabouts to contact the Tampa Police De- partment.
A Silver Alert has been is- sued for Ms. Saucier be- cause of her age, and she suffers from medical condi- tions that require medication. She does not have her med- ication with her. Because she doesn’t have her medication and because of her age, she is considered endangered.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Tampa Police Department at (813) 231-6130.
