With profound sadness and deep love, we announce the passing of Debra Ann Browell (née Talone), who passed away peacefully on July 8, 2026, at 2:55 a.m., at the Collier Hospice Center in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, at the age of 71. 

Debra was born on December 12, 1954, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Joseph Patrick Talone Jr. and Jeannette Marie Talone. She graduated from Philadelphia High School for Girls in 1972 and went on to live a life defined by love, compassion, creativity, and devotion to her family and community. 

Debra was a woman with a generous heart and a caring spirit. She found joy in nurturing the world around her, whether through her beautiful gardens, the quilts she lovingly created, or the time she dedicated to volunteering at her church. Her creativity, patience, and kindness were reflected in everything she did, and she brought warmth and comfort to those fortunate enough to know her. 

Above all else, Debra was a devoted wife and mother. She shared 52 wonderful years of life and love with her devoted husband, Glen Browell, and together they built a family grounded in love, commitment, and support. She was a loving mother to her son, Derek Browell, and her daughter, Devon Browell, who preceded her in death. The love she carried for both of her children was everlasting. 

Debra cherished her family and the meaningful connections she built throughout her life. She will be remembered for her gentle strength, caring nature, creativity, and the countless ways she made others feel loved and valued. 

She is survived by her loving husband, Glen Browell; her son, Derek Browell, and his wife, Samantha Browell; and her four sisters, Donna Talone, Laura Rein, Jeannette Bogdanski, and Anne Garner Talone. She was preceded in death by her daughter, Devon Browell, and her parents, Joseph Patrick Talone Jr. and Jeannette Marie Talone. 

Although our hearts are broken, we are grateful for the love, memories, and lessons Debra leaves behind. Her kindness, creativity, faith, and devotion to others will continue to live on through everyone whose life she touched. 

A celebration of Debra’s life will be announced at a later date, where family and friends will gather to honor her memory, share stories, and celebrate the beautiful life she lived. 

Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever in our hearts.
