Debbie was born in Worcester, daughter of the late, Joseph “Blondie” Simone, and has lived here all her life.

Debbie was an incredibly loving and unstoppable person. She enjoyed traveling, going to the beach, and the Ogunquit Playhouse; she loved her pets, playing BINGO, the Boston Red Sox, and Dancing with The Stars. She was a talented seamstress and cook and was at her best when surrounded by family and friends, as she loved to socialize. Her memory was amazing and she could recite birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and graduation dates with ease.

She will be remembered as a great person with a loving smile and twinkle in her eyes.
