Debbie L. Ream, 56, of Lancaster, passed away unexpectedly at Lancaster Regional Medical Center on October 18, 2011

Born in Lancaster, she was the daughter of Ruth Ream of Lancaster, and the late Donald E. Ream, Sr. Debbie was employed by the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square, since it's opening, as a cook. She was well-loved by her co-workers.

She was very devoted to her family and her "grandpets", and spent all of her spare time with them. Debbie was an excellent cook and enjoyed sharing what she made with others. Her uproarious sense of humor and fun-loving spirit will be missed.

She is survived, in addition to her mother, Ruth, by her son, Shannon; her daughter Shanya Ream Keen, wife of Edward J. Keen Jr ; her companion Angelo Finks; her sister Vicki Walters wife of Larry Walters; and her brothers David Ream  husband of Karen Ream, and Stephen Ream. She is also survived by 8 nieces and nephews and by 15 great-nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, and by her brother, Donald E. Ream, Jr.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a celebration of Debbie's life and a time of sharing at the Charles F.
