Deborah Ann (Maffe) O’Leary

Deborah Ann (Maffe) O’Leary of Nashua, NH passed away peacefully on April 29, 2024, surrounded by her family after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer. Deborah had a fulfilling career as an IT programmer with Eversource (formally Public Service of NH) and retired after 35 years. Her greatest passion was running. She formed lifelong friends in the local running group known as “The Turtles.” They ran numerous marathons across the US and the world.

Deborah loved to travel. She took many vacations with her husband, daughters, friends and more recently her two grandchildren. Her recent travels include Italy, China, and Spain. She enjoyed keeping busy by going out to lunch with friends and attending classes at a local university.

Deborah leaves behind her beloved and supportive husband Paul, daughters Kathleen (Nicholas Feucht) and Maureen, grandchildren Hudson and Noelle, sister Janet Tassone, brothers Paul and Joseph Maffe and seven nieces. She was preceded in death by her brother David Maffe and parents Patricia and Joseph Maffe.

In her later years, she gracefully fought her battle with cancer sharing information and encouragement with other cancer patients. A private celebration of life will be held in her honor. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her memory to the ESSCO-MGH Breast Cancer Research Fund at: https://giving.massgeneral.org/donate/essco/ Deborah shared part of her story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhFwZzGylJs
