Debra Ann Bautista, nee Dunning passed away unexpectedly on 3/12/26 in her home.

Born on 10/6/1979 in Voorhees, NJ, she was the daughter to Hilbert “Butch” Dunning and Edith Dunning nee Donnelly. Sister to Gregory Dunning (Kelly Dunning), Michael Dunning (Emilly Dunning). Daughter in law to Alfredo Bautista and Anne Bautista nee Revicho. And Sister-in-law to Erica Bautista. Aunt to Sophia, Darren, Donovan, and Jolene.

Deb graduated from Williamstown High School in 1998.  She earned a D1 Softball Scholarship to Charleston Southern University and graduated with a degree in Psychology.

She held several jobs working at Shop Rite, Boston Market, and Bancroft. She worked at Applebee’s for over 20 years, holding several positions before working her way up to become a General Manager. Her favorite job was being the adoring mother to her three beautiful children.

She was a member of Our Lady of Peace Parish. And she enjoyed going and watching sports events like the Phillies, Eagles, Flyers, and Sixers. Although she loved watching her children play sports more than them.  She loved watching movies that made her laugh and cry, and cry while laughing. But most of all, she loved doing anything as long as she was surrounded by her friends and family.

She is survived by her devoted husband, Alan Bautista and affectionate daughters, Isabelle, Addison, and Harper.

Deb had such an infectious laugh, smile, and a sunny disposition that it could fill and light up the darkest rooms.  She would emanate unrelenting positivity to anyone she could reach. Her best ability was loving her family and friends.

While Debbie will be sorely missed by everyone that knew her, she will live on through the love, care, and devotion that she shared with everyone.

Family and friends are welcome to attend her viewing Sunday, March 22nd 4:00 – 6:00 PM at the Egizi Funeral Home and Monday, March 23rd 10:00 – 11:00 AM at Our Lady of Peace/St. Mary’s Church, 32 Carroll Ave., Williamstown. Mass of Christian Burial 11:15 AM. Interment All Saints Cemetery, Newfield.

Deb was an amazing manager the short time I was at Applebees, she was the reason I got my first job because she saw potential in me. I was the host there from September 2025 through February 2026! When my birthday came in January Deb and the other managers threw a little party for me and it was truly amazing it’s forever one of my greatest memories!
