Deborah Marie (Melago) Kane

Deborah Marie Kane, 63, passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on Friday, May 31, 2019 following a hard-fought, courageous battle with cancer.

Debbie was born May 30, 1956 in Youngstown, Ohio. She was the daughter of Bill and Judy (Getsy) Melago and was a 1974 graduate of Cardinal Mooney High School. She worked as a waitress at TJ’s in Holiday Inn, Field Rep for American Payment Systems, Checkfree, and most recently Redbox, who was like family to her.  

Debbie loved Jesus with all her heart and succeeded in her mission in life to be a dedicated wife and mother. We will all miss her warm smile, tender heart, but mostly her very presence in our lives.

Debbie is survived by her husband Joe of 41 years and high school sweetheart; her daughter and son-in-law Christina and Todd Eckstein of Gainesville, Florida; her son Michael of Baltimore, Maryland; brothers Bill (Karen) Melago, Larry (Lynn) Melago and Ed Kane; as well as many nieces, nephews, and great nieces and nephews. She is preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Judy Melago.

Debbie’s family would love to thank her Redbox family, Cleveland Clinic Oncology Gynecology Department, Hospice of the Valley, Tabernacle EPC, many friends and especially Heartland Christian School students, parents, staff and administration for their overwhelming love and support.
