Deborah A. (Brenner) Spallone

Family & friends are invited to attend Visiting Hours on Thursday, November 29th in the Vertuccio & Smith, Home for Funerals, 773 Broadway (Rte. 107) REVERE from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., for Deborah A. (Brenner) Spallone, who passed unexpectedly at her Middleton residence, on Friday, November 23rd, peacefully. Her funeral will be conducted from the Funeral Home on Friday, November 30th at 10:00 a.m. & followed by the Funeral Service in the funeral home at 11:00 a.m. Interment will follow immediately at the Greenwood Memorial Park Cemetery, Everett (232 Fuller St.) Everett.

Born in Winthrop, Deborah lived her entire life in Revere, before moving to Middleton, in 2015. She is an alumna of Revere High School, Class of 1976. Early in her working career, Deborah began a teaching position as a Teacher’s Aide within the Revere School System, for about seven years, before making a career change and taking on a position with the Cosmetics Department at Macy’s in the Square One Mall of Saugus. There, she would work as a salesperson, but most importantly, as a Cosmetics Demonstrator. She thoroughly enjoyed her work and her “larger than life personality” certainly proved to be an asset to her time at Macy’s. Deborah’s “extended family” included each & every one of her associates & co-workers. Once you became a friend of Debbie’s, it was forever.

She is the beloved wife & best friend of 39 years to Retired Revere Firefighter, Joseph J. Spallone of Middleton. She is the devoted mother of Joseph J. Spallone Jr. & Jessica L. Spallone, both of Revere. She is the adored daughter to Stanley Brenner & his wife, Rosella of Merrimac, New Hampshire & the dear sister of Shelley Rafuse of Randolph. She is also lovingly survived by her niece, Stephanie Rafuse of Franklin & also her grand-nephew, James Ryan. Her faithful canine buddy, Coco, also, is most saddened by her passing. Deborah was also the adoring daughter to the late Merilyn (Shifres) Brenner.

    My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Deborah Spallone. Imagine a time in the future when those in the grave will be brought back to life here on earth! The Bible repeatedly speaks of such a time. Describing what conditions on earth will then be like, the Bible states that God “will wipe out every tear from [our] eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.”​—Revelation 21:3, 4.

    I am so heartbroken to hear of Debbie’s passing. My deepest sympathy to her husband Joe, children Joe and Jessica.
    I had the pleasure of having Debbie work in my preschool classroom for many years. During that time she was my right hand, she made me laugh, took care of me when I needed a hug, but most of all she loved every student as if they were her own. I was then lucky enough to work with her at Macys. We would always hug and laugh. I will forever remember her smile and Debbie will always hold a very special place in my heart. oxox Nicole Cascetta

We feel blessed that with all of the interest, the Vazza Family chose us to carry on their century old business and family name. We will become Vertuccio Smith & Vazza, Beechwood Home for Funerals.
