Deborah J. Haas

Deborah "Debby" Haas, passed away unexpectedly on September 17, 2024. She was 71.

Born in Boston, she was the daughter of the late Joseph and Agnes (Santosuosso) Brown.

Debby's life was marked by her unwavering dedication to service, both in her professional life in the restaurant industry and through her active involvement in various associations. Her work was not just a job; it was an extension of her natural caregiving spirit, as she also cared for her husband Glenn during his illness.

She had an impeccable sense of style and took great pleasure in caring about her appearance. She was the homecoming queen at North Quincy High School. Her love for QVC was matched only by her enthusiasm for decorating for the holidays and indulging in the heartwarming tales on the Hallmark Channel.

Above all, Debby loved her family with an intensity that knew no bounds. Her generosity extended far beyond her kin; she was known to donate to anywhere and everywhere there was a need, touching countless lives with her kindness.

Debby’s legacy is one of boundless generosity, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Debby Haas's spirit will continue to inspire those she leaves behind, as they strive to mirror the love and care she so effortlessly embodied.
