Debbie was a caring and kind hearted person. She would always help when she could even if she couldn't. She was the beloved daughter of the late Mariano "Murry" and Mary Maragioglio, sister of Patricia Matteson and Maryann Maragioglio, loving husband James "Scott" Shepherd Jr. mother of Krystal Balisky (Vincent), MeMaw of Vincent Balisky, parent of James Shepherd III (Gabby) (Carter), Sam Shepherd, and Tempestt Scherill (Seth), ex-husband John Idzinski and also survived by many loving family and friends. We also cannot forget about her dogs Lulu, Daisy, Robber and her cat Creepy.

You gave cancer a run for their money and we are all glad that you got your comfort and Manhattan Special. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten as you always found a way to make us laugh. We love you always.
