Debra A. (Mazurak) Piper

It is with heavy hearts and deep sadness that we announce the passing of Debra Ann "Debbie" Piper, a cherished wife, devoted mother, and beloved friend, who left us on November 13, 2024, at the age of 64 surrounded by her loving family.

Debbie was born on April 17, 1960, at United Hospital in Port Chester, NY, to the late William and Jean Washburn Mazurak, Sr. She was raised and educated in Greenwich, graduating from Greenwich High School. Later, she pursued her passion for animals by earning a degree in K-9 grooming from the Edwardian School of Dog Grooming. For many years, she worked as a dedicated K-9 groomer at Norwalk Veterinary Hospital and The Boarding House, where her gentle spirit and skillful hands were admired by both pets and their owners.

On November 30, 1991, Debbie married the love of her life, Richard "Ricky" Piper, at Saint Paul Roman Catholic Church in Greenwich, CT. Together, they built a life filled with faith, love, laughter, and unwavering kindness. Debbie’s greatest joy and blessing was raising her three beautiful children, whom she adored deeply. While her children were growing up, Debbie was an active and dedicated member of the PTA. She devoted countless hours to her children's schools and interests, where her enthusiasm and commitment made a lasting impact. She had a gift for telling jokes and spreading joy, making those around her feel warm and welcomed. She was a devoted parishioner at Saint Paul RC Church in Greenwich and a past member of the Women’s Guild where she found community and comfort.  

Debbie is survived by her loving husband, Ricky Piper, Sr. of Greenwich, CT; her beloved children, Ricky Piper, Jr. New York City, NY, and his girlfriend Caroline, Jeana McKay and her husband Drew of Essex, CT, and Anna Skelley and her husband Connor of Phoenix, AZ; her brothers, Bill Mazurak of Greenwich, CT, and Gary Mazurak and his wife Leigh of Deltona, FL; her sister, Linda Mazurak of Plainfield, CT; her father-in-law, Ronald Piper, Sr. of Dover Plains, NY; her sister-in-law, Pam Piper of Copake, NY; brothers-in-law, Ronald Piper, Jr. and his wife Chrissy of Copake, NY, and Robert Piper and his wife Brenda of Copake, NY; and several nieces and nephews.

Debbie's passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who knew her. Her laughter, love, and selfless spirit will be missed, but her legacy of kindness and warmth will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.
