Obituary published on Legacy.com by Willig Funeral Home & Crematory on Feb. 27, 2026.
Deborah J. Wilson, age 68, of McKeesport, died on February 23, 2026, at Forbes Hospital. Born May 7, 1957, in Oshkosh, WI, she was the daughter of the late Richard Buckley and Carol Hyman, and the wife of Edgar Wilson.

A longtime resident of McKeesport, Deborah was affectionately known in her community as the neighborhood mom, touching the lives of many with her warmth, kindness, and unwavering support. Deborah had a remarkable gift for baking, often delighting friends and family with her sweet creations, a reflection of her own sweet tooth and generous spirit. She was also passionate about arts and crafts, using her creativity to bring joy to those around her. Each holiday, her porch would bloom with festive decorations, showcasing her joyful, generous nature and inviting smiles from all who passed by.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by children, Tom (Amanda) Baker, Mark Baker, and Melody Wilson; sixteen grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Arrangements were entrusted to Willig Funeral Home & Crematory. Condolences and memories may be shared at www.willigfuneralcremationservices.com.
