Deborah served as the office manager of Brandywine Total Health Care for almost thirty years. Throughout her career, she touched countless lives, helping many patients with her kindness and compassion.
Deborah was preceded in death by her first husband, Gregory Forney, and is survived by her second husband of 27 years, Donald Feeney. She leaves behind three devoted sons, Peter, Richard, and Gregory Jr., her stepdaughter, Jessica, along with many cherished grandchildren.
