Deborah L. Daniels, 70, of Smithfield, passed away on March 24, 2023, after a courageous 28-year-long battle with cancer.
Born in Pawtucket, she was the youngest of ten children of the late James and Anna (Hilton) Daniels.

A graduate of Pawtucket West High School, Deborah earned an associate’s degree from Rhode Island Junior College. She was an active member of the Shielders Club, as well as St. Michael’s Church in Smithfield. She was a friend of St. Thomas Knights of Columbus.
Debbie’s work included jobs at Roger Williams Food, Speidel, Fitz Rainwear, and New England Pest Control, but she was most happy helping friends and family when in need. She was an avid traveler and always ready to plan a party to celebrate her friends and loved ones. To know Debbie was to have a friend for life.
