Debbie was a force to be reckoned with from the moment she took her first breath on June 7,
1958 until her last on Tuesday April 29, 2025. She was the only daughter of Nancy nee Bertollini
and the late Dick White. She and her three brothers were raised in Jordan and all graduated
from Jordan-Elbridge H.S.
Debbie was known for her quiet feminism and brute strength as she developed her career
among men. She was one of the first 10 people hired by Miller Corp. at the Auburn glass plant
in 1978 as the only female bottle maker. Throughout her career she never stepped down from a
challenging role or chance at adventure in a new state and even Canada. She was known for
her straightforward and honest character and loved for her humor, pride, and reliability. Though
unlucky in love, Debbie was fortunate to have the best life-long friends who shared her love of
sunshine, gardening, crafts, and MacKenzie-Childs decor. Those friends can attest that she
lived to fullest in everything she did; from dying her hair pink for a Pink concert and purple for a
Prince concert, to hosting sunny getaways at her home or timeshare in Florida.
Debbie is survive by her daughter Ali Blasko Vitale and her children Kaleb and Kennedy, a
chosen son Steven (Debbie) Blasko and their children Kelsey, Doug (Amber), and Joel (Riley
Breed), mother Nancy (LeRoy) Weston, brothers Greg (Christie) White, Jeff (Jen) White, Kenny
(Wendy) White, Mark (Darlene) Weston, Matt Weston, sisters Debbie (John) Sagert, Mary Kay
(John) Simpson, many nieces and nephews, an aunt and uncle, and many cousins. There are no public services planned.
