Along with MANY nieces, nephews and others she will be missed immensely especially by her best friend of sixty years, Patty Slater and her cousin Diana Sweigert

Besides her parents, Debbie was also preceded in death by her daughter, Gina Paglialong.

Debbie was always the “mom” of misfit toys (her favorite movie was Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer.) She had to face the fact and absolutely loved that her clan was full of misfits! 

For the last several years she was an employee of UPMC Jameson Hospital, a job she loved. Debbie was known for her BOLD and expressive personality. She enjoyed crocheting while watching her crime and talk shows, taking road trips but most of all she absolutely loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren.

A Celebration of Life will take place at 2:00 pm on Saturday, August 1, 2026, at The Moose Club, 29 S Mercer St New Castle, PA 16101.
