HAVERHILL – Debra Anne Brigham, passed away on Tuesday afternoon, June 18, 2013, at the Merrimack Valley Hospice House, Haverhill, surrounded by her family.
Debbie was born in Haverhill on December 14, 1962, daughter of Richard J. Brigham of Miami Beach, Florida and the late Nicoletta S. (Bonvino) Brigham. She graduated from Whitter Vo-Tech High School and majored in Culinary Arts. Debbie started working at Merrimack College and baked many treats for hungry college students followed by many years at Market Basket in Riverside, bagging groceries.
In 2003, Debbie was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis but didn’t let that stop her. Those who knew Debra, Deb or Debbie, knew she was a survivor; she had extraordinary courage! She taught everyone she knew patience and compassion.
She loved to drive her car and was often seen around the city and Salisbury beach ordering lobster at Markey’s or Browns. She also enjoyed horseback riding with her beloved horses, Emma and Stella. In the summer, you could always find Debbie at Grampy’s or close to water for she loved swimming!
Debbie was an avid Journey fan and LOVED Steve Perry! She has seen the band on five occasions and loved each one as her first. Deb was only fifty and still had plans on seeing them again and again.
