Debra
Darnall Biography
A life long Browns fan, born in Cleveland, Ohio, Debra
is an artist by trade. Her gift for creativity along
with her outrageous personality enabled her to create
"The BoneLady."
What
makes "The BoneLady" so special is the message behind
it all, "Be Who You Are." This quirky but loveable character
was born out of a celebration for her favorite football
team's return to the NFL after a 3 year absence. Her
excitement inspired her to do some "radical" things
to herself and her car.
Debra
took her Volvo station wagon and painted it like a Browns
helmet. She then placed an eight foot light up bone
on the roof and decorated every inch inside and out
with Browns memorabilia and "Bone Paraphernalia." Her
car became known as "The Bone Mobile." Being an artist,
Debra couldn't just leave it at that, so she went to
her garage, donned with her glue gun and emerged as
"The BoneLady."
Since
then, Debra has realized that she is simply following
her soul's path and only by doing that will she be truly
happy. She is certain that so many of the positive things
that have happened to her are because of this character
she has created and her decision to follow her dream.
She was honored in the Visa Hall of Fans at the Pro
Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio as the 2001 Fan
of The Year for the Cleveland Browns. She has had opportunities
to work with many charities and also promote sportsmanship
with other ultimate fans while inspiring people to "be
who they are." "Debra Darnall has been the life of the
party ever since the Browns returned." - John Petkovic,
The Cleveland Plain Dealer
