GUILDERLAND CENTER - Deborah P. Cole, 72, passed away peacefully after a long illness on June 24, 2024 surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Niskayuna to the late Donald and Dorothy Grugan.
Deborah devoted her life to her family. She loved her grandchildren more than they will ever know. She was always ready to take in anyone that needed a place to stay or to provide someone with a meal. She worked hard at every job she has ever held but worked at being a good mom the hardest.
She is survived by her children, Nancy Cole (Christopher DeVoe) of Knox and Brad Cole of Guilderland Center; her grandchildren, Sierra Rose and Ronan Skout of Knox and her great grandson, Riley Ray; three sisters, two brothers, many nieces and nephews and many other relatives and friends...and she loved them all.
Deborah was predeceased by her husband of 47 years Raymond E. Cole, Sr. and her son Raymond E. Cole, Jr.
In keeping with Deborah's wishes there will be no services. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit at the Bernard and Millie Duker Children's Hospital at Albany Medical Center.
