Rest in peace Debby. Will always remember the good times we shared at City Furniture. You are an amazing lady with an amazing heart. forever your "Rod Stewart"
Our Wife/Mom/GG is an incredible woman. If you made your way to this page you made your way to Debby's heart. There is not one person she has encountered that she did not make some sort of impact on. Thank you to every single person who impacted our mom/wife's life in return.
We know she has so many people who's lives she has touched. We ask that in lieu of flowers, below in the "leave a note" section, you share with us your favorite memory/memories or simply write something. That is the gift that keeps on giving for all of us....simply priceless. Please upload and share with us as many pictures or videos as you would like of you and her or even just her. That would mean the world to us. We have plenty as well we have and will continue to upload to share with you. We need YOU to help up put hundreds more on this ongoing tribute.
Debby is such an inspiration to us. She truly is a fighter!! Her battle was a long one. She has been battling Ovarian Cancer for 6 years and 9 months. The average life expectancy is 5 years from time of diagnosis for her illness. The past year has been the hardest for her and our family. Watching this disease truly surface in a way it didn't the first 5 years has been heartbreaking. Her first 5 years while battling was life changing but, she did not let cancer get in her way. She worked full time and later retired to care for her grandchildren full time (her dream job).
Ovarian Cancer is called the silent killer for a reason. It's mostly detected at Stage 3 as it was for her. Her best advice after going through this to all the women out there is listen to your body!
We are so grateful for the last 6 years and 9 months. We knew this journey would end at some point and we feel very strongly that we treasured every day and every moment! Her memory will live in our hearts FOREVER! Please visit this site as often as you like or simply when you miss her as it will be active forever. This site is for all of us to enjoy as we mourn a simply incredible woman.
Much Love and Fish Kisses,
Bob, Mandi, Corey, Brad, Robyn, Bryan, Jackson, and Chase

My most favorite memory with you Debby is when you took me to work with you, and then afterwards we went shopping. But, that wasn't the best part the best part was just talking and conversating that day. Our conversations were always the best you always pointed me into the right directon. When my mother and I were having our differences you talked to me for awhile and made me realize so much. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have the relationship I have with her now. You fought a long battle and stayed so strong with a smile.on your face everyday. You talked about your kids all the time and what they meant to you. I was so lucky to have met you so many years ago and to stay in touch all these yeats. You may be gone but you will never be forgotten. My thoughts and prayers are with your husband children and grandchildren. You were an amazing beautiful person inside and out. Our conversations will always remain in my heart. I'll remember every word you said and carty it with me. May you rest in peace. Love you Debby xo.

I have 12 years of memories, so I'll tell a few stories here and there.
Debby was my friend before she was my family. In her attempt to bring her daughter to Florida she invited me to go on a girls trip to New York and meet her daughter. That was the first time I rode on the subway, saw some sewer rats and did some shopping on Canal Street. Anyway my whole life I have avoided going in sketchy areas with strange people and by all means not jumping into any strangers car until that day. Debby lead me down dark alleys through lock doors with people who didn't speak English to get the best deals on some great knockoffs, and before I knew it she had me jumping in a van with some stranger conducting deals in there too! If only my mom knew,lol.
Great memories, and just 1 of manyyyyyyy

Debby was the type of extraordinary person who made you feel like you were the only person in the world while you were with her -- her best friend and a person she truly loved. She was so special, loving, funny, adorable and unique.
I met her over 40 years ago when she was dating a friend of mine and loved her immediately for her openness, kindness and completely outrageous (in a great way) personality. We have stayed in touch every since. I will miss her more than words can adequately convey. She was a dear, sweet soul. My deepest condolences to Bob, Mandi, Corey, Brad and their families. Love you Deb.

We remember Debby...coming down to South Florida to see our daughter, Robyn, was when we met Debby, we liked her from the start!
She always told us how great Robyn and Joel, our son, were. She would imply that it would be great to have her son meet our daughter, Robyn. Unfortunately, at that time Robyn was with someone else...as the story unfolds, Debby must of had some kind of intuition; as she was determined to make it happen. I'm not sure the details, but before too long, Corey and Robyn were an item. The true matchmaker, and we are glad that she did not stop "trying." When Debby was sick, she took care of her first grandson, Jax, when she was too tired and sick to hold up her head, and she never once complained. She taught lessons to her grandson that he will never forget. He will always remember his "GG," and so will we. She was an incredible, strong, loving, beautiful woman. We will always remember you. We love you, Mimi & Ratty

I remember visiting Debbie and Robert at their home in New Jersey when the family was young and growing. They were so proud and happy of their youngsters. Debbie gave her family a great foundation. My condolences and sympathy go out to all. Cousin Fran Levine Smith

To Debby's kids: I remember when you guys were all still living up in NJ and she missed you guys sooooo much. She'd say, "I miss my kids. Lynnie someday when you have kids you will know what it's like. I would give anything, to get all 3 of my kids to live down here in Florida so we can all be together. I just have to find a way to get them here. I know they would love it here." One by one you each moved!!! Your mama was so happy! She loved you guys soo so much. I hope you know that! We talked about you all the time. She made me laugh with all her stories. None of us will be the same without her. Thank you to you and Bob for letting me borrow her all those years!

Such a warm smile and always fun. Met Debby when I worked for City Furniture in Stuart. We shared our Jersey Girl stories, I must say hers were the best, kept me laughing. You can tell, just by this page, the many lives she touched. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who knew and loved Debby.

For me I will always remember the way you made me laugh until I cried or how you made me laugh WHEN I cried. You were always there for me. I remember sneaking away to see puppies at a pet store over lunch break. How we went to Palm Beach Island to hunt for celebrities. You were so much more than a coworker. You were a best friend, a mom, a love. I know you are up in heaven and one day I will see you again. Until then ily! Xoxox.

Debby and I grew up going to each others birthdays and spending time together. My Aunt Jean was a very close friend of her Mother "Aunt Sooky". We got back in touch with each other on Facebook . I will miss those pokes Deb. She definately kept her sense of humor, I still have the text she sent me from Chemo last year. It was a picture of the woman next to her who looked exactly like my Aunt Jean! RIP my sweet friend.

One of the many times we would "play" together. We would spend the day by starting out eating grilled cheese sandwiches (I will never be able to eat grilled cheese without thinking of her. ). She taught me kindness and giving. In her memory I wish everyone that knew her will "pay it forward". That was her legacy. I will miss you my friend but you are in my heart forever !!! I will end with a quote from one of her many cards she sent me. " The mind forgets but the heart always remembers"

Debby and Bob were neighbors in Freehold on Sherwood Drive. Our kids grew up together, we socialized as couples, and we were friends.
Debby was spontaneous, loved to shop and go out whether it was to the beach or to a concert. She had a ton of energy and always ready to go.
I am so happy that I had the pleasure of knowing a wonderful girl who enjoyed life to the fullest. May she rest in peace.
I extend my heartfelt condolences to all her friends of which are many and her wonderful family.

I don't even know where to begin. There is only a few people that you meet in your lifetime that were as amazing as Debby. I have so many great memories of her. We shared so many laughs together. Today I have been very sad, but have been smiling to myself thinking about our conversations and great times together.

My funny, wonderful Aunt Debby had a flair for exaggeration - the best picture EVER, the cutest dress EVER - so I feel this is the epitome of a moment with Deb.
We were walking to the car leaving Norstrom one day a few years ago. Debby was on her phone and, as we walked, two cars backing out of their spots at the same time tapped bumpers. It was the lightest tap possible (I don't even think the people bothered to get out of their cars), but not in Debby's opinion. She screamed into her phone, "Oh my G-d! We just saw the biggest accident EVER!!!!!!".
Just another afternoon with my Aunt Deb. xoxo

I miss Debby so much and treasure my memories of her. When I heard that Steve Lawrence passed away, I could not help but think of her photo of him that she displayed in our dorm room. Her stories about her excitement when she saw him had everyone in hysterics!

Mom always loved fireworks...no better way to send her off to god and her family awaiting her. And mostly to celebrate the fireworks she made in all of our lives.
Road Trip with Aunt Anne
May 28, 2016
I just had a flashback when I was 17 when me, you, and Aunt Anne drove from NJ to Florida. Aunt Anne was in the front seat and you were driving. She got frantic saying your name in North Carolina. As you replied "what's the matter?!" Aunt Anne replied " Oh I just wanted to make sure you were there I didn't see you". Got me laugh this morning
