From the start of her life, Debi was an exceptional personality; her love for life and others was always visible. Growing up, dinner with her whole family; grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins was her favorite and a tradition she has passed on to her own children.
She graduated from Mercyhurst College in Erie, PA with honors. After marrying the love of her life Ernest Parisi Jr., they moved to Orlando, FL where they spent 20 years, and moved to Sarasota in 1996. Debi contributed to each community she lived in throughout life as a volunteer for many organizations and schools, and professionally as a real estate agent. She lived her life in a way that allowed her to truly know and love all of her family and friends.
Debi is survived by her loving husband Ernie; her son Ian Parisi and his wife Brittany; her daughter Alexis and her husband Andy Linn; her beloved grandchildren Vincent and Aemilia Parisi and James and Lillian Linn; her brother David D’Alessandris and his wife Maria; and her mother-in-law Lillian Parisi and many loving cousins, nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by a sister Donna D’Alessandris, and her father-in-law Ernest Parisi, Sr.
Some of our fondest memories of our beloved Debi are times that were spent over a large Italian meal with her famous sauce and meatballs! A funeral mass will be held at on Monday, December 14, 2020 at 10:00 am at St. Thomas More Catholic Church, 2506 Gulf Gate Drive, Sarasota, FL 34231. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be directed to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
