Deborah Lee Dunham, 59, of Franklin. It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our partner, sister, aunt, and friend, Deborah Lee Dunham. Debbi succumbed to complications from the Corona virus on May 10, 2021 at Milford Regional Medical Center in Milford, MA.

She was predeceased by her mother, Marion Dunham, and she is survived by her partner, Kim Carrier, her sisters, Patti Eisenhauer, Terri Donovan, and Jonna DeSilva, and her brother, Rick Dunham. Also, her nieces and nephews (which were her pride and joy) Ashley Esteves, Bobby Eisenhauer, Valerie Howe, Anna Donovan, Faith Donovan, Nina DeSilva, Mark DeSilva, Aria DeSilva, Isabella DeSilva, Ane Flammand, Maria Stevens, Courtney Dunham and Gabi Dunham.

Debbi loved bringing a smile to our faces and spoiling her nieces and nephews rotten! She was affectionately known as “Auntie Buddy” to all of them. She was also known for her famous “Buddy Muffins” that she would bring to all family gatherings. Her quick wit and infectious laugh frequently brightened our family celebrations and are memories we will always cherish.

Debbi suffered a stroke several years ago making life very difficult for her. She had many issues to overcome as a result of that event in her life. She always mentioned to her family that at her passing she did not want it to be a sad event, but a time to celebrate her life.

In honor of her wishes, we will have a Life Celebration gathering on Sunday, July 25th from 12:00 noon – 3 pm at 1 Ivy Court, Norfolk, MA.

All family and friends are welcome, we just ask that you RSVP to desilvajonnak@aol.comcreate new email by July 20th so we can be prepared for the crowd.
