Deb was a Registered Nurse for over 45 years, spending her entire career working for Lancaster General Hospital. She spent 30 years in the IICU (CCRN Certified) and 15 plus years in orthopedic PACU. During her working years she touched many lives with her kindness and caring for the thousands of patients under her responsibility.

Deb was a member of Highland Presbyterian Church. She was an avid reader and a member of a book club. She also was a past member of the Lancaster Area Sewing Network, enjoyed walking, traveling, and sitting at the beach watching the ocean. Deb loved talking about her children and spending time with them whenever she could. Her caring nature carried over to all the people that she met asking about their lives and how their families were doing. Deb was blessed with many close friends that loved her and supported her especially during her illness. Deb could not stop thanking them for their kindness.

A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday February 4, 2023, at 11 AM at Highland Presbyterian Church, 500 East Roseville Road, Lancaster, PA. The family will greet Family and Friends on Friday February 3, 2023, from 6 PM to 8 PM at and again from 10 AM to 11 AM before the service.

My deepest sympathy to the Fecik family.  I had the pleasure of knowing Deb thru the Lancaster Area Sewing Network.  We shared many “sewing” successes and mistakes.  Shared many “nurse” adventures.  Deb was such a joy to know & love!   May her incredible love and memories sustain you .  May The Lord surround you with strength and love.  Mo

Mr. Fecik, Mike, and Jon,
    Incredibly sad to hear of your wife and mom’s passing. I have many wonderful memories of sleepovers at the Fecik house as a kid and playing in their backyard pool. She always had an amazing heart and was incredibly kind to all of her sons’ friends. From one nurse to another, thank you for all your service to others over the years. May your memory be a blessing.  Ben Kaufman

I only knew Deb because of her Huntington Disease. She was a joy to get to know during our short time in Support Group. I will miss her presence each month. God Bless you, Mike.

Mike and Jon:
We are so sorry for the loss of Deb.  She was such a wonderful and capable person.  Jon was fortunate to have her as a mom when he injured his shoulder and she swooped in and made sure he got the care needed to heal right.  She was a delightful person to talk to and seemed like such a great mom,  I can only imagine how difficult it will be to endure this loss.  You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our deepest sympathies

Dear Mike, Michael and Jonathan,
My deepest sympathy. I had the pleasure of working with Deb at LGH for many years. She was always caring, competent and professional. Although we are not put here to stay, she should have been able to stay with us much longer. You will remain in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mike, 
I was so very sorry to learn of Deb’s death.   Although I did not see her very often she was always so welcoming and friendly when we ran into each other.  Something about mothers of sons in music and scouts I guess!  I sincerely hope that your wonderful memories together and the love she shared with you and your boys sees you all through the difficult days ahead. Hoping you can be at peace as she is now.  God Bless.

Dear Mike,Michael,Jon,and family,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your wife and your mom. I first met Deb when our oldest kids were working on a school project. I soon realized we were at concerts together. The next 9years would be filled with concerts, football games and competitions. Deb was an avid support of her sons in all they did. A true Mom and always smiled. She was helpful in all the music groups the school offered.
 MTMA,MTPA,MTMB and AMA (American Musicians Abroad). Our youngest kids also literally ran in the same circles in track. May the many memories you have of her, give you comfort in the months ahead. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.                                          Sincerely, Nancy Ross

Dear Mike, Jon and Michael,
Please accept my sincerest condolences. You are all in my daily thoughts and prayers. I remember Deb (your wife and mother respectively) as a warm, sincere soul always interested in everyone around her. Her and my late wife had several motherly chats about their children that I was privledged to listen in on. I’m hoping they are now continuing those chats together in person.
Sincerely and respectfully,
Ed Vaughen
