Debra Lamb, 67, of Quakertown, passed away peacefully on Friday, July 12, 2024, from pulmonary fibrosis.
Debbie was many things, but put most simply, she was the best of us. She loved having her eggs in the morning, watching her Philadelphia sports teams, and most of all, her boys. Her house was, more often than not, a glorified locker room, but still a welcoming home to anyone who entered. She was kind to all, loved by many, and rude to none (aside from the occasional PIAA referee in the late 90s - early 2000s).
She battled an incurable disease for over seven years—through a lung transplant, eight weeks in a coma, dozens of hospital stays, months in nursing facilities, and she refused to give up. She never lost her smile, never lost her spirit, and never once asked, “Why me?” Even at just over five feet and barely ninety pounds, she was the strongest one in the room.
Debbie is survived by her children: Joel, Mark (Jenna), and Paul (Caitlyn); her grandchildren: Camryn, Quinn, Callen, Kendall, and Mason; and her siblings: Bonnie (Tom), Mike (Joan), and Rich.
As per her request, a private memorial service will be held for close family members. In lieu of flowers, please consider a visit to Citizens Bank Park to cheer on her beloved Phillies.
Arrangements are under the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.
