Debra Davies Obituary
Debra Ann Davies, fondly known as "Debbie," departed this life on April 29, 2025 at 12:15pm at the Alliance Community Hospital, with her family by her side, after a four year battle with cancer.
She was born on October 27, 1955 in Youngstown, the daughter of Dominic and Margaret Pallante. Debbie was a 1973 graduate of Boardman High School and furthered her education by earning a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Youngstown State University in 1981. With her degree, Debbie worked in retail sales in a multitude of places including The Fragrance Collection, Things Remembered, Zales, Pandora, and Ashcroft & Oak. Debbie married her boyfriend of five years, Robert "Bob" Davies Sr. on September 19, 1981. Together they made their home in Boardman and raised their two children Robert Jr. and Stacy.
Debbie was well known for her love of nature, spending much of her time in Mill Creek Park. She loved the Rose Garden, Lanterman's Mill, Lake Glacier, The Flats, and Cinderella Bridge. She enjoyed taking pictures and sharing them with others, as well as observing the wildlife. Debbie enjoyed live music, and would often frequent local concerts with her friends.
Amongst the activities that Debbie enjoyed, she loved spending time with her children and grandchildren most of all.
To cherish her memory, Debbie leaves her children whom she dearly loved, Robert J. (Erin) Davies Jr. of Boardman and Stacy L. Davies of Cleveland. She also leaves two grandchildren whom she lovingly referred to as her "grandbabies," Gabriella Davies and Dominic Davies. In addition, Debbie leaves her sister, Donna Manning of Alliance and her brother, Michael (Jean) Pallante of Raleigh, North Carolina.
Debbie was preceded in death by her parents, Dominic and Margaret Pallante.
