Debra Washburn Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Debra was born on January 13, 1955, in North Conway, NH, daughter of the late Leighton Washburn and Nancy (King) Lauziere.
She attended school in Franklin, NH and lived most of her adult life in the Rumney and Plymouth area. She was employed by Rochester Shoe Tree in Ashland, NH as an IT Manager for 39 years.
She had many joys in her life including crafting, making Christmas ornaments yearly for family and friends as well as advent bags ("Aunt Debbie Bags") for all her nieces and nephews. She was happiest when spending time with her family and her dearest friends, the Pattersons. Debra also became a NASCAR fan later in life and loved to place fun "bets" with her brother. She was one of the kindest souls, always putting others first and she was loved dearly by everyone that knew her.
Debra is survived by her sister Terry Pike of Franklin, NH, sister Lina Gerber of North Grafton, MA, brother Michael Washburn of New Hampton, NH and sister Kelly Angerami and her husband Dean of Stuart, FL, as well as her cherished nieces and nephews, Tracey LeClair, Bill Pike, Caitlin Washburn-Sheehan, Dan Perry, Christie Perry, Lars Major and Hal Patterson.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
