Deborah "Debbie or Deb" Mae Snellinger (Tysor), age 72, of Towson, Maryland, passed away on March 17, 2022 (St. Patrick's Day), after a courageous battle with cancer.

Deborah was born on May 14, 1949 to the parents of Doris "Dotsie" Snellinger (Machlinski) and Paul Joseph Snellinger, Sr. both of whom preceded her in death. Her mother was her best friend and she also adored her Grandmom Machlinksi "Bushi." She also joins her other best friend angels in heaven, Cathy Schwartz of Columbia, Maryland and Sharon Smith of Catonsville, Maryland (high school best friend), among many other beloved family, friends, and pets (poodles Gucci and Hughie).

She attended Mt. de Sales Academy in Catonsville and subsequently held various positions in the medical field in Baltimore. Deborah devoted most of her time and energy to taking care of others. Her warm smile, humor, and kindness led her to easily make friends wherever she went. She was a fantastic cook and baker and loved being in the kitchen and socializing with family and friends. She also loved boating and fishing. Some of her favorite places included Point Lookout, Md., Ocean City, Md., Key West, Fl., Big Pine Key, Fl., and Santa Barbara, Ca.

Deborah is survived by immediate family members including her brother, Paul Snellinger, Jr., her sons Jason Tysor and Joshua Tysor, and daughter Amber Geraghty (Tysor), as well as her four grandchildren, Jocelyn Ayers, Summer Tysor, Liam Geraghty, and Patrick Geraghty, and also her cherished Maltese, Maltilda.
