Deborah Marie Larkin

Deborah Marie Larkin was born in Detroit Michigan on July 24, 1953, to Harry and Edith (Eydie) Todeschini. Debbie was at her home in Moorseville, NC with her beloved husband Ron and their dog Coco when she passed away on April 5, 2023, just one month after being diagnosed with lung cancer.

Debbie graduated from St. Alphonsus High School in 1971. After graduation she received a bachelor’s degree in business administration with a major in management from Detroit College of Business. In 1977, Debbie moved to California where she eventually landed a job at Rockwell International (now Boeing Co) and that is where she met the love of her life, Ron. They met during negotiations between HR and the Union, Debbie on one side of the table and Ron on the other. Ron was a Union Rep Negotiator and Debbie was Senior Manager of HR and Labor Relations.

Debbie and Ron married on August 3, 1996. They shared a home in Palmdale, CA and also a beautiful house at Smith Mountain Lake, Virginia that Ron proudly built himself. It was a very large 2 story house that they recently sold along with their California house and, two years ago they bought a house in Morrseville NC near Ron’s son David. Debbie and Ron enjoyed going on cruises, trying out new restaurants and enjoying fine wines. Debbie loved going to Vegas where she excelled at BlackJack. She was a kind, loving woman who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
