Deborah M. Farnham

Deborah M. (Ferrugia) Farnham passed away recently on November 1st, 2025, surrounded by her loved ones, after a long and courageous battle. A lifelong Dunkirk resident, Deborah was born on June 5th, 1964, the daughter of the late Thomas Ferrugia and Margaret (Ferrugia) Vento.

Debbie’s favorite things in life always involved her family — her two sons, Colton and Connor, and granddaughter Carrah Farnham. She especially enjoyed cooking and baking their favorite dishes, gardening, walks by the water, and listening to music. Those who knew her will miss her sense of humor and infectious laugh.

Debbie is survived by her sons Colton and Connor (Emily) Farnham; brother Leonard Ferrugia (Tucson, AZ); sisters Kathleen (David) Campola, Cynthia DeMonte, and Karen (Alan) Shaw, all of Fredonia; and granddaughter Carrah Farnham, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Funeral services will be held in private. Arrangements are by the McGraw-Kowal Funeral Home; 736 Central Avenue, Dunkirk, NY.
