Debra (Marcantonio) Plante, affectionately known as Deb, passed away on February 24, 2025, in Milford, Massachusetts. Born on July 2, 1955, in Winthrop, Massachusetts, Debra lived a life filled with passion and dedication to the things she loved.
Debra is survived by her daughters, Jessica Plante and Nicole Plante, both of Milford, MA; Her brother Vincent Marcantonio; her sisters Kristine Crane and Pauline Lampros; and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Johann; her parents, Andrew and Mary Marcantonio; and her brother, David Marcantonio.
A devoted sports enthusiast, Deb had an incredible knowledge of all the Boston teams and loved watching games. Her enthusiasm for sports was matched by her love for fitness—she was always encouraging those around her to join her for a walk or stay active. She also found great joy in her work at Bath & Body Works, where she spent over 15 years bringing warmth and kindness to those she encountered.
In recent years, Deb faced a difficult battle with Parkinson’s disease, which progressively worsened over the past two years. Despite these challenges, she remained strong and resilient.
A memorial mass will be held in Debra’s honor on February 28, 2025, at Consigli Ruggerio Funeral Home, located at 46 Water Street in Milford, Massachusetts. A gathering will take place from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, followed by a short mass.
Debra’s memory will live on through those who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
