Obituary

Deborah L. McKenna, 54, of Main Street, West Warwick, passed away in her home surrounded by those who loved her.

Born in Cranston, a daughter of the late Rosemary Victoria and William McGill and niece to Deborah and Chuck Werchadlo.

Deborah was a Jill of All Trades who greatly enjoyed games (Jeopardy! and cribbage), her four-legged grandbabies, reading and fresh coffee. Though an avid baker, she did not like frosting on her pastries - or being called Debbie.

A loving mother with an open door she leaves behind her children, Aydan M. McKenna of Austin, TX, Victoria and Kayla Waldeck of Raleigh, NC and Mama Cat as well as her partner Terrence Johnson of West Warwick, RI.

May she rest peacefully with her younger brother, Edward Pianka.

A celebration of life will be held in the spring.
