Dearest Debbie…I shall miss our times training together and was so blessed to have known you. You brought sunshine to all and always was upbeat even during the darkest of times. You were an inspiration and friend to many and even though your time on earth was cut short, your legacy and love will live on in your family and those whose hearts you touched so dearly. With much love and admiration, ~Cindy
To the entire family of Deb,
I have many many childhood memories knowing Debbie all the way back to Irving grade school. Such wonderful innocent times growing up. Her memory will remain with me in those wonderful times. The last time i saw Debbie was at a high school reunion where we shared many dances, talked and caught up. I heard all about her wonderful husband and children I am sorry I never did get to meet. I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Mr. and Mrs. Marino the fun times we had with Mr. Marino singing his Frankie tunes to us! Too many memories to post. Please accept my deepest heartfelt condolences. My heart aches for all of you. Debbie’s memory and legacy no doubt will go on in everyone’s heart she touched and will always remain a part of. Love you Deb, rest in peace hon.
With deepest love and sympathy,
Kathy Skach-Spinelle
I always thought Debbie was so cool and so fun…..just a really neat person. We talked a little on FB recently, and she was always so sweet to me. I am so saddened by this loss. I will be praying for her family. Xo
We only knew you through our good friends Frank & Sheila, but always admired your strength through this. You will have a very special place in heaven.
Our thoughts & prayers go out to your entire family.
Mike & Marie
I’ll never ever forget our time at Platinum and your fun/happy/smiling/crazy personality!! I am glad I got to meet you and will see you again some day. Debbie you definately touched a lot of people and are in my prayers. Rest in peace.
Our thoughts are with you and your family Angela and Tony. This is a difficult time of year for you guys but a beautiful time for Debbie as she directly celebrates Jesus’s birthday in heaven! I know you believe she is smiling right now and at eternal peace.
Rest in peace, Debbie. You will be missed.
Heaven just gained another angel who is beautiful inside and out. Debbie, you were an amazing woman who inspired so many of us at the Bolingbrook Park District. It was a blessing to have worked with you and an honor to get to know you. I will always remember your smile, your passion and your incredible sense of style. Thank you for being such a special person. You will be missed but never forgotten because your spirit will be with us — ALWAYS! Until we meet again Debbie — Keep Smiling!!!
To the Caputo Family– my thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time.

Dear Deb my beautiful wife and now my beautiful Angel.I want to Thank you for letting me share so many beautiful years with you.I have so many fond memories that I will cherish forever. I only hope you know that I tried my very best to make you as comfortable as possible during your horrific battle. I promise you I will continue to help all those that are fighting this horrible disease. I will pay forward to help others as our family was fortunate to receive so much constant support. You have always been my biggest cheerleader and taught myself and so many others how to be a better person.I want you to know that we enjoyed our Christmas Dinner the girls and myself with your gravy recipie. We had your picture on the table with that beautiful smile Your spirit was with us and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. Deb I Love You now and Always Anthony We will be together again!
To the Caputo family, my thoughts and prayers are with your familyl. I only knew Debbie a short time as one of the water aerobic teachers but she was an inspiration to all. She gave her all every time she taught. I could see she was a fighter. I was sorry to hear she lost her courageous battle. May she rest in peace and her memory comfort you all.
I have learned so much from this beautiful women that I call my aunt. She was an inspiration to many including me. What I learned from watching her through this horrific battle was to stay strong and don’t let anything or anyone stop you from being the person you want to be. She was an amazing women and anyone who knew her would say the same. I hope one day when I am older and starting a family of my own that I can be as amazing, loving, caring, strong, and independent as she was. I will love you forever auntie. -Gigi
I will never know why such a beautiful person was taken from us. Everyone you knew, you touched and I will always remember you and the happiness you always brought. I hope to grow up to be just like you, strong, beautiful, caring, loving and brave. You’re such a fighter and I know that God has a beautiful angel now. I will never forget everything you taught, I’ve learned so much from you and I didn’t even know it. You always treated me as if I was your own child and I love you so much. I know you’ll always be watching over me and I know you’re not suffering. You’re a beautiful Christmas angel, God and all the other angels are lucky to have you. I know we’ll meet again, I love you and rest in peace auntie.<3
Dear Auntie Deb, I will never understand why things like this happen to such amazing people I am just happy that you are no longer suffering. Because you did not deserve any of this and I think I speak for everyone else as well. I am going to miss spending every weekend at your house shopping with you and the girls until we dropped (literally). I am going to miss watching you cook breakfast for all of us kids after a big sleepover but most of all I am going to miss your presence and just being around you because just being around you brought so much joy and happiness to so many people. Cancer really is such a cruel disease and even though you cannot be with us anymore, its still not the boss of you. You were so brave and tough, you fought so hard and I can only hope that one day I can be half the woman you were. You touched so many people Auntie, we will never ever forget you and the things you have done for all of us. There isn’t enough time to put everything I feel up here, there are just so many emotions and feelings that come with this, its just so hard to believe. I will never really understand but I really do believe that everyday all of us miss you, you miss us right back and you will continue to look over us because thats who you are. You are an angel now but you always were an angel, even during your time on Earth. I love you so much, I can’t wait to see your beautiful face again in heaven. Rest In Peace, you’ll always and forever be our Christmas Angel. Xoxo
My beautiful friend ..I still can’t believe you are not here with us. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend, always there for me and my family.You are a woman that never said NO to anyone. A lady with a big heart! You were Gabriella’s second mom I am so grateful she had you to come to and you will be forever missed. You are always on my mind. I hold on to all the fun memories, Springfield, waterparks, soccer, and watching our kids grow up together and become such great friends themselves. I know that heaven gained a beautfiul, fun, sweet angel. You touched so many people more then you know. We will keep an eye on Anthony and the girls down here while you watch over them from heaven. I love you Debbie..Smile that beautiful smile of yours!!!!
Caring about others was my aunt Debbie’s ROLE AND JOY in life. She cared deeply about each and every one of us in this room. My aunt was the most caring person I’ve known, and certainly a role model for all of us. By doing things for others, without expecting anything in return, she helped us understand the most important things in life. I remember one time when we had a shaving cream fight in aunt Debbie’s basement, she showed us her feisty side, along with a couple of choice words about cleaning all the shaving cream up. The next day she apologized saying ‘that we were only kids having fun’ and she understands. I would like to reiterate a quote I found in the Bolingbrook patch article that nominated my aunt Deb as person of the year: “She’s always worried about other people. She will call you from the hospital to see how you are doing. She’s an amazing woman.” When I read this quote I could find no better words to describe my aunt Debbie. She was truly a gift to the world. We can learn from my aunt Deb by bringing more compassion into our lives. She had a lot of compassion towards other people. Unfortunately in today’s world there are few that have the compassion that she exuded. She was truly one of a kind. We are confident that our Aunt, Sister, Cousin, Mother, Wife, & Friend Debbie is now with our creator. She will be in our heart forever. I would like to thank you Aunt Deb. I’m thankful for becoming a part of your life’s journey. We will always be proud of you and hold on the good times we had with you.
Love, Frankie
Debbie and Tony, along with their daughters were the best neighbors anyone could have. We moved into our homes at the same time, and getting to know them and watch the girls grow up are memories we’ll always cherish. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time, we’ll miss Debbie very much. God bless you and your entire family.

Debbie:
I am very fortunate to have known you through the BRAC and when you spoke to the Bolingbrook Women’s Club. I was very emotionally touched to see so many family members, friends and colleagues gathered at your house to provide overwhelming support to you and your family. You have been an inspiration to family, friends and colleagues and BRAC members. We have a special place for you in all of our hearts!
I extend my heartfelt sympathy to your family.
With Sympathy,
Kathryn L. Siddiqui
Bolingbrook Women’s Club, Board Secretary, and BRAC Member
Debbie,
I have known you through my dearest friends Frank and Sheila. May you rest in peace. My prayers and thoughts to the entire Caputo family and also to Debbie’s family.
She was and always will be, without a doubt, the strongest and toughest person I have ever had Gods priveledge of knowing. She was an absolutely beautiful person inside and out, and there was never a time when even through her toughest fight and on her worst days that it was not completely noticeable. She truly was a blessing to everyone that ever had the chance of meeting such a phenominal person. She was a caring wife and mother, a loving friend, and to me the greatest aunt I could have asked her to be. She always cared so much about what was going on in my life, like what the latest accomplishment of mine was, or how my sports season was going. I remember one time my brothers, our friend and I wanted to see her so badly that we rode our bicycles for 4 hours from Elmhurst to her front door just to see her. Ill never forget the look on her face when she opened the door and saw us there. My absolute fondest memory of her was always singing Summer Loving from Grease with me every year from when I was a child till this year and I am 17 years old. I love you more than you could ever imagine, and from now on every wrestling match, football game, or any fight Im in. I am going to fight twice as hard because of how you battled till you couldnt anymore. Even though I could never even compare to the amount of fighting you did this past year. You made it to Christmas Auntie, just like you said and you are our Christmas Angel. To my amazing aunt, wonderful singing partner and badass fighter, I love you and will cherish you always and hold you near and dear to my heart.
Love your nephew, Fil
Where do I begin? Well here goes…. Debbie I say this with a heavy heart I am so sorry out of all the people in the world someone as caring and generous as you had to suffer the way you did, I dont know many people who even in sickness and pain still worried about how everyone else was doing. I keep asking the man upstairs why he needed to have you, then I realize he must only take the best for that’s what he got. Other than a few other wonderful ladies you in my eyes showed me what it meant to be devoted, not only in everything you did but in motherhood, as a wife, as a sister, as a daughter, as an aunt, and as a friend.You even touched peoples lives that you barely met. I admired you so much for that and for the way your smile lit up a room! I will miss you so much even the constant ballbusting about you being the favorite aunt or you being Ninas godmother lol. I am so sorry you were given such a short life for the world as we know it is now forever changed. I want you to know when you talked to me a few weeks ago about my daughter you made me see things through your eyes and I will forever be grateful for that. I am also grateful that you are safe now, the pain and suffering are now over. Deb even though you are physically not with us anymore you will forever be alive in all our hearts!!! Thanks for a lifetime of good memories… til we meet again! I LOVE YOU
How could this be true, how could you be gone.
Debbie the most incredible, loving, giving, happy woman be taken from us way to soon. My heart is so heavy and full of tears. Just knowing you are gone hurts so very bad. You taught me so much about love and family, not to mention shopping and cooking, that I can NEVER forget you. I love you Debbie Caputo!!! You are a diamond and our angel in the sky now. You worked so hard in your life, you gave birth to 2 beautiful girls and you married the love of your life. You still had more to do and more to teach us. You gave such a fight to beat this.
Why? why? You were the MOST devoted, daughter, mother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. I see you now and your smiling, I remember ALL our good times together and I will cherish you and those memories forever. I will miss you my dear sweet friend!
Thank you for the memories and the years of knowing you on this earth.
God bless your soul. I wish life and health to your family, to always keep your memory alive.
To the family and friends of this beautiful lady who now rests in the arms of the angelsand jesus, Debbie is and always will be in your hearts forever, she will never be forgotten her presence and beauty will live on with you all forever. Myself and my daughter did not know her, but we are blessed to know carla and we know that carla is so amazing that we know debbie was so amazing as well.for one day we will all be together again with our loved ones. So for now its not goodbye , its see you again in heaven. God rest her soul, and heal her family from the sadness. We love you ! God bless!,
