Deborah L. (Holm) Smith

Deborah L. (Holm) Smith, 58, died Thursday, Sept. 26, 2024, at her home in Grafton.

She was the daughter of the late Carl and Karen (Bowley) Holm.

Debbie was raised in Marlborough, graduating from Marlborough High School in 1984.  She worked in the accounting field until her daughter, Nicole, was born and she was able to focus on her most loved role, mom.

She is survived by her daughter, Nicole Ricard and her husband Kenneth of Jefferson, MA, her brother, Joseph Holm and his wife Ann of Bellingham, MA, her niece, Rachel Drane of Raynham, MA and her nephew, Dylan Holm of Jersey City, NJ. She is also survived by her cat Midnight.

Debbie enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. She loved the sun & sand, in particular, family trips to Aruba and York Beach. She was always smiling & laughing.  Her generous spirit & thoughtfulness will be forever missed. If there was something she could do to help, she would.  Despite her challenges she took pride in her independence.
