Aili “Debbie” Truelove lost her long battle with cancer on Monday March 4, 2024. Deb was a courageous fighter, enduring monthly treatments for over twenty years at Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Never giving up, Deb always had a joke and never met a stranger. She had several passions; reading, bowling and collecting to name a few. Deb was always up for an adventure, even when it was difficult for her to do. Never a complainer, Deb was a brave soul who would do anything for her family or friends. She will be deeply missed by many.
She was predeceased by her parents Joseph and Aili Rossetti and her sister Antoinette Carroll. She is survived by her husband Jim, who was always at her side, her three children Jason (Erin), Jamie (Danielle) and Jenna (Chris), her beloved granddaughter Olivia, brother Daniel Rossetti (Dottie), several nieces, nephews, and countless friends.
A celebration of life will be held Tuesday March 12, 2024 at Curtis Funeral Home 324 Hulett Street Schenectady, NY 12307 from 4-7pm.
