Debra Ann Lanfranchi

Debra Ann Lanfranchi peacefully passed into the arms of her Savior, Jesus Christ, at 12:10 p.m. on New Year’s Day, trusting fully in the promise of eternal life.

Debra was the oldest of five children and lived out a life of loving leadership, humility, and service. She was the devoted wife of her late husband, Anthony Lanfranchi, and together they built a home rooted in love and devotion to family. She was a loving mother to three children—Stephen, Gina, and Diana—whom she cherished deeply and selflessly. She was a doting Nana to her three grand children—Rose, Lydia and Mark—who brought her great joy.

Debra spent the majority of her professional career serving others at St. Catherine’s of Sienna Hospital, working in both dietary services and medical records. In every role she held, she reflected a servant’s heart, working as unto the Lord.

She loved her family and friends with her whole heart, consistently counting others as more important than herself. Her life was a living example of kindness, patience, and sacrificial love.

As the mother of a son with Down syndrome, Debra showed extraordinary devotion and strength. She did everything in her power to ensure he had the best quality of life, advocating for him with tireless love and grace, reflecting the heart of a mother who never fails.

Debra now rests in the presence of her Lord, where there is no more pain or sorrow, only peace and joy everlasting. Her faith, love, and legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her.
