Debra Ann Sirvent-Williams, 68, of Sudbury, MA, passed away on Sunday March 16th, 2025, surrounded by her loving children.
Debra was born in Brooklyn, NY, to the late Augustine and Josephine Sirvent. She was raised there with her six siblings where their family were active members of the community. Whether it was teaching religious education, singing in the choir, working in the front office to answer telephones, or providing childcare, Debra and her siblings were active participants in St. John the Baptist parish. She graduated from Christ the King High School in 1975. She attended college in New York and eventually moved to Boston where she met her husband, Eugene Williams.
Debra and Eugene married in April 1986 and raised three children in Natick, MA. Debra was a devoted mother to Tristine, Brandon, and Jeremy. She always made sure to make every holiday and birthday as special as possible, usually by crafting something unique to gift her children. She was an amazing cook and spent many late nights baking for kids to have sweets to bring to school for events such as bake sales or their birthdays. She volunteered to chaperone for numerous field trips for her children and attended as many of their games and performances as she could to show her support.
In January 2003, Debra was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and eventually moved into an assisted living facility. Over the course of her chronic illness, her children stayed by her side to care for her. There were many flans and pernils baked, Easter egg hunts had, and Christmases spent and family gatherings met at her nursing home to ensure that she did not miss out on any special family events.
Debra is survived by her husband, Eugene Williams of Bronx, NY, her devoted daughter, Tristine Grady (Williams) and her husband Chris of Bellingham, MA, her beloved son Brandon Williams and his fiancé Ericka of Auburn, MA, and her loving granddaughters Norah, Jaida, and Serena. She is also survived by her brother Alan Sirvent of Columbus, IN, her sister Elizabeth Rivera of Miami, FL, her brother Eric Sirvent of Brandon, FL, her brother Ronald Sirvent of Cliffside Park, NJ, her sister Maria Lamontagne of Wellington, FL, her brother Stephen Sirvent of Cresco, PA, and her many sisters and brothers in law, nieces, nephews, and cousins. She is predeceased by her parents Augustine and Josephine Sirvent, and her son, Jeremy Williams.
