With deep sorrow and immense love, we announce the passing of Debbie, who left this world on December 2, 2025, surrounded by the people who cherished her most. She was a woman of extraordinary strength, compassion, and resilience, a life marked not by the hardships she endured, but by the grace with which she overcame them.

     Born on April 30, 1963, Debbie faced challenges throughout her journey that would have defeated a lesser spirit. Yet she met each obstacle with courage, determination, and an unwavering belief in the power of love. Her struggles did not dim her light; instead, they made her shine brighter. She grew stronger, wiser, and more loving with every chapter of her life.

    What defined her most was the deep love she carried for her family and friends. She found profound joy in the laughter of her children and grandchildren, the warmth of family gatherings, and the simple moments shared with the people who meant the most to her. No matter what she faced, she made sure everyone around her felt cared for, supported, and loved. Even in the hardest days, she reminded us—often in her own gentle way, just how much we meant to her.

    Debbie was a pillar for her family, a loyal friend, and a source of comfort to all who knew her. Her legacy is one of resilience, unconditional love, and a heart that persevered through every storm.

     She is survived by her Brothers Larry Brown and his children, Gary Brown and his children, Her sisters Rosemary Angotti and her children, Sherilyn Booth and her children, her Children Brandy Marietta(Jamal Bryant) and children, Thomas Marietta(Bethany McCall) and children, Danielle Freeman(Khaliq Champion) and children, Darryl Freeman(Victor Sanchez) and children, Angela Brown and children and many nieces, nephews, great Grandchildren and her Best friend Sherry Labrake Raczka (Stan Raczka)and children, who will forever carry her strength within them, as well as extended family and many dear friends whose lives were enriched by knowing her.

     Debbie will be reunited with her mother Sharon Sarve, Uncle Bob Sarve, Grandma Lillian and Grandpa Martin Sarve.

    Her memory will continue to live on in the stories we share, the lessons she taught us, and the love she poured into each of our lives.

     We will miss her deeply, but we take comfort in knowing she is now at peace, her battles behind her, her spirit free, and her love still surrounding us.

      Relatives and friends are invited to a celebration of life on Saturday, December 27, 2025 from 3:00 PM until 8:00 PM at Boyz From Italy, 262 W. Dominick St., Rome, NY 13440.
