Debra M. Royse

Our dear Mother, Debra M. Royse, 70, of Harrisburg Pa, formerly of Boynton Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on September 1, 2024, with her beloved family by her side. Debra was born on July 2, 1954 in California to Merlin and Everal Mason. She later moved to Florida, where she spent most of her life in Boynton Beach.

Debbie, loved being outside, especially walking and spending time at the beach. Above all, her life was centered around her family. She was a kind-hearted woman and would do anything for anyone. A country song we all keep hearing since her passing is, “Live Like You Were Dying”, a message she would want us all to embrace. As the saying goes, “A mother’s hug lasts long after she lets go”.

Debbie is survived by her loving children; Kimberly Ahlers and her husband, Christopher, Elizabeth Messenger and her husband, Zac, Adam Royse, and Scott Royse and his wife, Jennifer. She was a proud grandmother to five grandchildren; Aubrey Ozio and her husband, Josh, Cole Ahlers, Kylie Ahlers, Logan Messenger, and Sadie Messenger with another grandson on the way. She also leaves behind a great-granddaughter, Paisley Ozio. She is survived by her siblings; Todd Mason, Susan Keith and her husband, Bruce, Doug Mason, and Lynda Mason.

Professional services have been entrusted to Dugan Funeral Home, Inc., 111 S. Main Street, Bendersville. A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held by the family at a later date in Florida. To leave a condolence for the family, please visit DuganFH.com.
