A celebration of life service will be held at a later date. Heritage Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
Debra was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on July 14, 1955, to the late Roy Pearce and the late Jessie Hines Szczepaniak. She dedicated her career to caring for others as a nursing assistant at a dialysis clinic. In her earlier years, Debra enjoyed capturing moments through photography. She was a talented cook and had an appreciation for vintage television shows and movies, reflecting her old soul. A proud Bostonian, Debra cherished the ocean and had a passion for exploring lighthouses. She had a servant's heart and was a beloved sister to 13 siblings. Debra loved her family dearly and will be missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her brothers, Kenneth (Leslie) Pearce, Allan Pearce, Michael Pearce, Eric Pearce (Patty), and Darren (Amanda) Pearce; sisters, Margery (Roy) Danis, Cheryl (James) Johnson, Jean (Mark) Cummings, Joan Conn, Nancy (James) Hensley, and Wendy Killeen; along with many nieces and nephews.
