March 19, 1956 - November 8, 2024
Deborah “Debby” Marlene LeGallee, age 68, passed away on Friday, November 8, 2024 surrounded by her loving family, after bravely battling cancer for over a year and a half.
Debby was born in Chesley, Ontario to Joan and Jack Rowe. She is survived by her loving husband of 44 years, Peter. She was an exceptional mom to Adam and Cara, showing endless love, forgiveness and understanding. She was a proud and adoring nana to Hayden and Matthew, spoiling them and smothering them with her kisses. Debby will be remembered and missed by her sister Pam Rowe and brother Todd Rowe, sister-in-law Carole Rowe, niece Emelie Rowe, and nephews Alex Rowe, Spencer and Dylan Steckley, and daughter-in-law Ashley. She is predeceased by her brothers John (Jake) Rowe and Randy Rowe, and beloved niece Amy Clark (Rowe).
Debby was so incredibly special with the kindest soul and the biggest heart – adored by her family and friends. Her warmth and generosity were evident in everything she did. She was always the first to embrace you with open arms and a welcoming smile. Debby was a huge animal lover, opening her heart and home to all creatures. An adventurous spirit, a traveller, an admirer of sunsets and the best cook – she found the most joy in the simple things life had to offer like spending time with the people she loved.
Her husband, children and grandchildren were her world, and she was theirs.
While you may no longer be with us, your legacy lives on in the memories created and the love you so freely gave. You were a gift to all that knew you – the best wife, mom, sister, nana and friend. We will miss you every single day and love you forever and always.
