Deborah Lee Alaimo died peacefully at Regions Hospital, with family at her side. She was 70.
Deborah “Debbea” was born June 13, 1952, to Gloria and Delbert Plankey in Worcester, Mass. The family moved from Massachusetts to New York, where she learned to ride horses and developed her love of animals. She graduated from John Jay High School (Katonah, NY) in 1970. On March 13, 1971, Debbea married Michael “Mike” Alaimo, and was blessed with two children.
She was a very gifted artist and enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and gardening. Her artistic abilities expanded with studies at UW Waukesha Center in 1993. Those talents progressed to teaching youth through the organization Very Special Arts Wisconsin, where she was a featured artist on numerous Christmas cards. Animals were her passion, whether furry or feathered. As a licensed rehabilitator, Debbea helped to rescue and care for wildlife here In Polk County, with her first volunteering work originating at the Wildlife in Need Center in the Waukesha area. She was also deeply influenced by her New England heritage and embraced being a descendant of the Mohawk tribe.
She is now united with her Savior, along with her father Del and mother Gloria.
Debbea will forever be missed by her husband, Mike; two sons, Mike Jr. (Kerry) and Nathan; two granddaughters, Megan and Katelyn, and fur babies Boo, Aggie and Oreo.
A Memorial Service will be Sept. 24 at 11 a.m. at the Osceola United Methodist Church (where she was a member), with visitation beginning one hour prior to service.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Friends of Osceola Fire and Rescue in her memory.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted with Grandstrand Funeral Homes in Osceola. Condolences can be left at grandstrandfh.com.
