“Debbie”

1960 – 2025

   Deborah M. Torelli  “Debbie” (nee Pistory), age 65, of Broomall died peacefully April 18th, 2025 with loved ones at her side. She was predeceased by parents the late Michael and Theresa (nee Burke) Pistory, brother and sister in law Michael and Maryann Pistory and nephew Michael Pistory. She is survived by her daughters Christine (Larry Dyson) Torelli and Jennifer (Adam Klepfer) Torelli , brothers Jim (Regina) Pistory and Bob (Jill) Pistory. Mom-Mom of Jake and Collin Dyson and Chase Klepfer. Also survived by many other loving family and friends.

    Debbie was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. She is a graduate of St. Hubert’s class of 1978. In her early life she worked at the Ben Franklin Hotel in hospitality, and Wills Eye Hospital doing secretarial work. During her married years, she continued secretarial work at Plymouth Opticians. Later in life she took her caring and kind heart to start a career as a personal companion and caretaker of the elderly. Although she had years of work experience, her most important job was raising her two daughters, Christine and Jennifer. In 2019, her first grandson, Jake was born. In 2021, her second grandson, Chase, was born, and in 2025 her third grandson, Collin was born. Debbie was not only a Mom-mom by title but a true Mom-mom in the sense that she was involved in her grandson’s everyday lives forming a close and special bond to each of them. 

    She was a kind and selfless person who always put others before herself. To know Debbie was to love her. Forever in our memories and in our hearts.
