FRANKLIN – Deborah Swass, 65, of Franklin, NH, passed away on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at the Granite VNA Hospice House in the company of her loving friends following a brief, aggressive illness. 

Born on December 1, 1956 in Leominster, MA, she was the second daughter of Anna (Liberatore) Lagoy of Myrtle Beach, SC and the late Russell Lagoy. 

Deb treasured her relationships, frequently warming hearts with gifts and gestures of care, and she made fast friends wherever she went. She worked for many years as a caretaker, most recently with Granite VNA. She was a tremendous cook and enjoyed making crafts, knitting and crocheting, as well as gift giving - especially to her grandchildren. She will be remembered for her endless love, passion, loyalty, incredible work ethic, enormous heart, and for always going out of her way to lend a hand, her time, and a piece of her heart. 

Besides her father, Deb was predeceased by her brother, Stephen Lagoy.
