Deborah Laude "Debbie", age 42, passed away peacefully on February 17, 2025, with her loving family by her side. She was born in Philadelphia to the late Andrew "Andy" Laude and the late Joanne Murphy Laude.
Debbie was raised in the Kensington section of Philadelphia and enjoyed many wonderful memories there with her 8 siblings and many friends that she met living there. She enjoyed playing bingo and hanging out with friends. She was very out-going and was always the life of the party, whether it was out dancing (she would be sure to tell you to "Drop It like It's Hot!") or having some drinks at the Old Philly, especially 99 Bananas. Debbie especially loved St. Patrick's Day and her Wawa coffee, just like her dad. Always the kind-hearted and giving person she was, Debbie would share anything she had with anyone and would give you the shirt off of her back if you needed it. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
In addition to her parents, Debbie is preceded in death by her brother Andrew "Andy" Laude and her furbaby Foxy. She is survived by her siblings Karen Laude, Eva Laude (Alex), Catherine Laude, Cheryl Laude, David Laude, Joanne Rodriquez (Greg), and Mary Laude (Chris). Sadly missed by many nieces and nephews.
Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing and funeral Saturday February 22, 2025 beginning at 2pm in the Hubert M. McBride Funeral Home 2357 East Cumberland Street Philadelphia, PA 19125. Prayers and words of remembrance will begin at 3:30pm. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests and appreciates any contributions towards Debbie's final expenses.
