Deborah L. “Debi” Cappellini, 69, a resident of Old Forge, passed into eternal peace unexpectedly on Tuesday morning, October 05, 2021, at Commonwealth Health Moses Taylor Hospital, Scranton.

Born on February 03, 1952, in Wilkes-Barre, Deborah was one of two beloved daughters born to the late John and Norma Grace Kelly Andrews.

Raised in Plymouth, Debi was a graduate of Wyoming Valley West High School, Class of 1970, and she went on to further her education at Luzerne County Community College and Shippensburg University.

Prior to her retirement this past July, Debi was employed for many years as an in-home caregiver for Step-by-Step Inc., Wilkes-Barre.

Debi’s pride and joy were her three sons. Throughout her life, she strove to ensure that her boys were afforded all the good things in life, and she reveled in each of their accomplishments. In times of adversity, she was the rock of her family, facing the difficulties of life head on with strength, grace, and dignity; and by example, she instilled those qualities in her boys. Once her grandchildren came along, they enriched her life with even more love, and she cherished every moment she shared with them!

Although Debi’s passing leaves a void that could never be filled, there is comfort in knowing that she now knows the joy of total peace – reunited in Heaven with her beloved parents, sister, brother-in-law, and all those loved ones who were patiently waiting for her there.

In addition to her parents, John and Norma Grace Andrews, Debi was preceded in death by her sister, Karen Lee Wiedlich and her husband, Terrance.

Debi is survived by her three loving sons, Gifford “Giff” Cappellini and his wife, Danielle, Katy, Texas; Ryan Cappellini, Mount Pocono; and Justin Cappellini and his wife, Gerlie, Philadelphia; her three adoring grandchildren, Adelynn, Brendan, and Juliet Cappellini, all of Katy, Texas; as well as her many cousins and friends.

In keeping with Debi’s wishes, a private family funeral service was held, followed by interment in Oak Lawn Cemetery, Wilkes-Barre.

Funeral Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of the Wroblewski Funeral Home, Inc., 1442 Wyoming Avenue, Forty Fort.
