Deborah's obituary
In her early years, Deborah was so proud to have worked in her parents’ restaurant the Hi-Ho with her family, husband and friends in Nyack, NY. In her twenties, Debbie studied Art history; she had a passion for art and antiques. In her early thirties, Deborah studied computer engineering and became a system’s analyst. She was one of the first women in her field to be certified in Unix, an operating system. She loved this work and spent over 25 years in the industry. She resided in Congers, NY with her family for most of her life.
In her later years, Deborah spent many hours giving back to others in need through her mission work. She was a humanitarian who gave of herself and her energy, including her service and outreach with People to People and the Midnight Run organization. Debbie was a loyal parish member who served Grace Episcopal Church, and an active member of the American Legion Post 1600, Ladies Auxiliary, and served multiple American Legions, including Leo Ladders, with her sister and best friend Nancy Bliss. Deborah leaves behind many friends, including her beloved friend Jon Whitman. Debbie will always be remembered for her sharp mind, kind heart, and passion for life. She was always ready to help in moments of need. She will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She is forever in our hearts.
An in-person and live stream service will be held May 15, 2021 at 11:00am at Grace Episcopal Church in Nyack, NY, a brief memorial to follow at Gethsemane Cemetery of Rockland Lake, Congers, NY.
