Deborah Armbruster

Deborah Lee (Arndt) Armbruster, age 65, of Harborcreek, PA passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 8, 2026 surrounded by her family and friends. She was born January 23, 1961, devoted wife of C. Daniel Armbruster of 41 years; mother of Nikki Armbruster, Jennifer Armbruster, and Kylee Firster (Matthew).

Debbie was preceded in death by her father, Bernard Arndt and mother, Lois Reynolds; sister, Diane Arndt; and brother, Donnie Arndt. She is further survived by 10 grandchildren, Tyler, Travis, Landon, Brodie, Toby, Lily, Charlee, Sawyer, Briar, and Penelope. Debbie devoted her entire existence to her husband, daughters and grandchildren. Other family survivors include her brother, David Arndt; in-laws, Kathy Haupt (Gary), Jack Armbruster (Janet), Jim Armbruster (Rosie), Bob Armbruster (Joy), Mary Ann Brown (Tom), Duke Wilson, and many nieces and nephews.

Debbie worked at various restaurants, Eastway Lanes, Hamot, and most recently St. Vincent cardiology office, where her co-workers will miss their "daily dose of Debbie". Debbie also worked at local dirt tracks while supporting her husband's racing career.

Debbie was the true matriarch of her family, the person everyone naturally gathered around. Her home and her presence were filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of love that brought people together. She had a remarkable comedic personality and a quick wit that could make anyone laugh, even on the hardest days. Her humor, kindness, and spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

More than anything, she loved creating memories with the people she loved most. She was always planning something fun - whether it was family outings, celebrations, or simple get-togethers that somehow turned into unforgettable moments. She had a special gift for turning ordinary days into cherished memories, and her family will forever hold those times close to their hearts.

Her legacy lives on in the love she poured into her family and the countless memories she helped create. She will always be remembered for her laughter, her strength, and the way she made everyone feel at home.

Though she will be deeply missed, the love, laughter, and memories she created will continue to live on through the family she cherished so deeply.
