Center in Poughkeepsie, NY on Friday, August 7, 2020, after a lengthy battle with cancer.
Debbie was born on May 28, 1964, in Danbury, beloved daughter of the late Bernard J. Dolan, Jr.
and Marcia McLachlan Dolan. She was raised in Danbury and graduated from Saint Peter
School, Immaculate High School, and Fairfield University.
She is survived by her mother, Marcia, her sister, Pamela Dolan-Spiewak, and brother-in-law,
Craig Spiewak. She also leaves behind her two nieces, Paige McLachlan Spiewak and Allison
Dolan Spiewak, whom she adored. She is also survived by her dear friend, Dennis McGinn, who
was by her side throughout her illness. She was predeceased in death by her father, Bernie,
her sister, Karen Keane Dolan, and several aunts and uncles. She will also be missed by many
beloved cousins.
Debbie’s primary career was in banking. She worked at Danbury Savings and Loan, Ridgefield
Bank and Union Savings Bank. She also ventured into one of her family’s favorite pastimes –
golf. She worked for the family business, The Connecticut Golf Center in New Milford, CT and
at Stony Hill Golf Range in Bethel, CT. She was an avid fan of many sports, attending as many
New York Giants and New York Yankees games as she could. Debbie also enjoyed reading,
playing with dogs, and vacationing on Cape Cod where she could relax and listen to the sound
of the ocean and smell the salt air.
Debbie’s family wants to extend their thanks and appreciation to Debbie’s friends who were
there with love, encouragement, and support during her illness. We also want to thank the
staff at Praxair Cancer Center at Danbury Hospital, with special thanks to Dr. Robert Cooper, Dr.
Wenli Gao, and all of the nurses and aides. Debbie most appreciated your prayers and
friendship.
God is getting a special angel – though he needs to know that she is late for everything!
