Deborah Gail Pappasergi (née Jericho)- Harleysville, formerly of Donora

Debbie Pappasergi died Sept. 8, surrounded by family as she loved to be, and at least a hundred years too soon. Among the many who will miss her are her husband, Paul Pappasergi; son and daughter-in-law, Andy Pappasergi and Alecia VanDyke; mother, Gail Jericho; sister, Connie Schmidt (Bill); and cousin, Rhonda Giuffrida. Debbie is now watching the Pirates with her dad, Clyde Jericho, having a lovely tea with her nana, Ada Yates, and riding the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood with Aunt Betty Giuffrida, each of whom preceded her in death. The Yates, Jericho and Pappasergi families of Donora will miss Debbie dearly. She was a beloved niece, cousin, aunt and sisterin- law. Parents-in-law, Kitty and Neno Pappasergi, also preceded Debbie in death. No services are planned, and the family requests no flowers. Instead, Debbie and her family ask that you spend time with someone you love, watch a baseball game, tend your garden, or sing a favorite song knowing that Debbie would be singing along.
