BRUNSWICK — Deborah Zamore passed away March 25, 2016 after more than a decade of valiantly battling smoking related COPD. Debbie was born June 13, 1952 and spent her early years in Montclair NJ before moving with her family to Brunswick in the summer of 1968.

A graduate of Brunswick High School and Green Mountain College in Poultney VT, she worked as a sportswear buyer and department manager for many years at Senter’s department store. Debbie also worked at LL Bean and at several other local retail businesses.

Childhood summers were spent in Boothbay Harbor, ME. Brunswick and its citizens of all ages provided a warm and welcoming home throughout Debbie’s adult life, from her very first week here until her last.

A keen observer of people, their quirks and strengths of character, she made friends quickly and continuously, never letting a day pass without some new insight into human character and its boundless capacity to serve as a source of respect and humor, large and small.

She greatly enjoyed the brief amounts of time that she was able to volunteer at the Mid Coast Hunger Prevention Program before becoming ill.

Debbie was pre-deceased by her parents Richard W. and Patricia F. Zamore of Brunswick.

She leaves behind a son, Tyler, and his wife Emily of Brunswick, a sister Barbara Z. Kasabian and her husband Mike of Brunswick and Libertyville IL, and their children Matthew and Arianna, as well as a brother, Wig Zamore of Somerville MA.

Debbie’s upbeat nature and courage are an inspiration to her family, who will miss her sorely.

All of Debbie’s family wishes to express her and our special gratitude to local caregivers including Doctors Worthing and LaPrad, and the dedicated staff of Mid- Coast Hospital and Winship Green.

Services will be private.
