Debra passed away on November 10th, surrounded by her loving family. She is survived by her parents, Evelyn and Dominick; her sister, Caroline; her brother, Pasquale and his wife Debbie; her cherished children; Debbie Ann, Dominick and his wife Jessica and Dominick Sr., with whom she shared many years of love and memories. She also leaves behind her adored grandchildren, Dominick and Isabella, who brought endless joy to her life along with many sister-in-laws, brother-in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, and family. She had a deep love for Halloween (especially decorating), bingo, "garaging," and making Palm Sunday crosses. Known as the "cool aunt," she brought laughter and warmth wherever she went. She loved playing Yahtzee, cooking, baking, and could watch Jaws any day of the week. She was the kind of grandma who got down on the floor to play, the mom, grandma, and aunt who always showed up when it mattered most. Whether staying on the phone until you got home or answering a late-night call, she was always there - steady, loving, and true. She was a mom to all and meant so much to everyone who was lucky enough to know her. Her love, laughter, and presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of those she touched.
