Deborah attended the University of Michigan, carrying forward a steady commitment to learning that would remain evident throughout her life.
Deborah built a distinguished career as a Configuration Control Manager, serving with Hughes helicopters, McDonnell Douglas helicopters, Boeing helicopters, and MD helicopters.
Deborah was married to Steven Saturno for 32 years. She is survived by her devoted husband Steven Saturno; son Nicholas (Jamie) Steffy; grandchildren Wyatt and Parker Steffy, who knew her with special joy as “Gammie”; sister Rhonda (Sam) Shaffer; brother Steven (Louann) Wagoner; nephews Alec, Gabriel, Nathaniel and Spencer; and niece Rylei. She was preceded in death by her parents Walter Wagoner and Joyce Wagoner (Soles).
Those who loved Deborah will remember the warmth she brought to everyday life. She found genuine happiness in crafting and card making, and in the quiet pleasure of reading. She cherished vacations at Folly Beach and looked forward each year to Fenway Park, where she could cheer on her beloved Red Sox. She enjoyed Pat's Hand games with the Garcia's, and she took delight in the Saturno's annual 9-5 setback tournaments with Mom, Dave and Steve, but most of all she loved her dear son Nicholas—for the boy he was and for the man, husband, and father he has become.
The Saturno family would like to give special thanks to the Care Team at Ironwood Cancer & Research Center in Chandler, AZ.
Please consider donating to the Kidney Cancer Foundation in Deborah's memory.
