Debra Lynn Mangiamelle
Debra Lynn “Dozer Deb” Mangiamelle, 59, of Langeloth, passed away Saturday, November 13, 2021, in her home, surrounded by her family and friends. She was a loving and caring mother, grammy, daughter, sister, aunt and friend.
An operating engineer for the Local 66 Union of Pittsburgh for more than 20 years, she was a hardworking, blue-collar worker, who took pride in all she did.
Deb enjoyed being outdoors, planting flowers or tending a small garden. She enjoyed fishing and hunting with her son or with friends, or simply sitting outside chatting with friends and family.
A ride down a country road while listening to her favorite songs was another enjoyable activity for Deb. Her personality made everyone feel welcome right away. She was the first to offer hugs and to make a person feel loved. Deb was known for her huge heart and often times put others first ahead of her own needs. She was often the go-to when a person needed someone to listen, laugh with, or shed a tear.
Her beautiful smile, laughter and caring heart will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
Deb was the eldest of six children, a daughter of Geraldine and the late Dominic Mangiamelle Jr.; the proud mother of Jason (Stephanie) Zimmer; adoring grammy of granddaughter Lena Zimmer; sister to Diane (Mike) Joseph, Donna (Patrick) DeMarco, Dominic Mangiamelle, Darlena (Ian) Prider and the late Dwayne Mangiamelle. She was also survived by many loving nieces and nephews.
We won’t say goodbye, instead we say “So-long, until we meet again.” Love you.
A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. Friday, November 19, in the Pittsburgh Cremation and Funeral Care, 5405 Steubenville Pike, Pittsburgh, PA 15244.
