SCHWARTZ
DEBBY


Our beloved, age 61, daughter of Holocaust survivors Louis and Helen Schwartz who pre-ceded her, of Langhorne PA, passed away March 17, 2017. Debby was a warrior who over-came the adversaries of renal carcinoma for over thirty years. She was surrounded by her loving family and friends.
She is survived by her brother, Stan (Cindy Epstein) and sister, Randye (Ed Gralla). Debby was a loving aunt of Oren (Jill Silverman), Shelley (David Wilson), Tobey (Shay Hughes), Eli (Yarrow Yard) and a beloved great aunt of Quinn and Evan. She is also survived by many more loving family members and because of her endearing nature by many close and loving friends.
In lieu of flowers or gifts, you may honor her by making a donation to Abramson Cancer Center in honor of Dr. Naomi Haas; to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum or your favorite charity.

I met Debby a few years ago while I was visiting my parents in Palm Beach Gardens Florida. She had rented a house with a friend in the community where my parents live. She was so sweet and kind. Loved talking to her about stuff relationships, fashion, cooking etc. We kept in touch afterwards for a while. I was well aware of her illness and was so impressed with her positive attitude. May her memory be for a blessing. RIP Debby. Soar with the angels.

Sending prayers of peace & ease to Debby's family. She has become family to me as well. A beloved friend & aunt who I will miss dearly.

Through her vigilant health struggles, she always seemed to find reasons to beam her joy & gratitude! It was endearing to see her loving & close relationship with her family... including Buddy the not so friendly cat.. whom was her baby.

I mourn alone in a foreign county... having some difficulty believing that she has passed on... yet I am celebrate the opportunity to share very sweet times with her.. and to know that she suffers no longer.

Her presence will be greatly missed.. but we will ALL carry her in our hearts for the rest of our days.

Thank you Aunt Debby for loving me & treating me like your family. I am so grateful for the impact that you've had in this life.

Bless your spirit's journey!

Much Love,
Shay
