Deborah "Debbie" Swboni

DEBORAH MAY SWBONI  "Debbie" (nee Fioritto), age 75, passed away peacefully in the early morning of February 21, 2025, to be with the love of her life, husband Malcolm (Skip) Swboni. Loving mother of Mark Fioritto (Denise), Theresa Johnson (Andrew, deceased), stepmother to Carla Callahan, and Jeffrey Swboni (Lisa). Adoring grandmother to Maria Thomas,           Mark Minks  and Annabelle Fioritto, Rachel Johnson, and   Erin Kaye,Tracy and Dillon Fussell.  Sister of Terry Lee (deceased) and Mary Ann Bradfield (Tom). Devoted Aunt of Olivia Bradfield, and great grandmother to many. She was preceded in death by her parents Armand “Mondo” and June Fioritto. She was deeply loved and will be missed by family and friends, including her dear devoted friend Linda Shivey.

Debbie valued her family and friends above all else and was fiercely loyal to all who knew her. Although her means in life were often modest, she would selflessly offer all that she had to help a friend in need. Her advocacy of animals was limitless and was evidenced through the years of providing homes for countless dogs, birds, bunnies and any other creature that may have crossed her path. As a member of the Gold Wing Road Riders motorcycle organization, Debbie coordinated charity Teddy Bear Rides to benefit Shriners Children’s Hospital and various burn units.

In her younger years she was the life of the party. Debbie loved to sing and dance. If you were attending a social event with her where there was music, chances are you were treated to her rendition of Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights.” 

Her talents and skills crossed many disciplines. Known for cooking and baking just as her mother, Deborah was also a licensed dog groomer, nail technician, designer and owner of a craft pottery store, cleaning company and cake decorating business. She was passionate about everything she did and everyone she loved.
