Deborah "Debbie" LaDuke, 70, passed away unexpectedly at home on September 10, 2026. Born on July 15, 1956, to Arthur and Almeada Depo, Debbie was a hard worker who took genuine pride in her work for as long as she was able, until health struggles led to her disability. But if you asked anyone who knew her, they'd tell you her true calling was helping other people. Debbie had a generous heart and a gift for bringing folks together, and she poured herself into organizing benefits and fundraisers for those in need. It was, without question, her favorite thing to do, and the community was better for it.

Debbie is survived by her son, Bernie; her grandchild, Conner; and her siblings, Archie (Debbie) Depo, Penny Depo (Bernie Trombley), Nancy Taylor, and Ricky (Linda) Depo. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who will carry her memory forward.

She was preceded in death by her beloved daughter, Tara LaDuke, her parents, and her brothers, Ronnie and Danny.

A Graveside Service will be held at Holy Name Cemetery on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, at 2:30 p.m.
