Debra Ann Reichart-Eckhardt

Debra Ann Reichart-Eckhardt, 65, of Warminster, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on October 24, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. Debra, affectionately known as Debbie, was born on March 3, 1960, in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. With a heart full of kindness and a spirit of selflessness, she touched the lives of so many during her time with us.

A proud graduate of Incarnation of our Lord in 1974, and Cardinal Dougherty High School in 1978, Debbie pursued her passion for beauty by graduating from the Gordon Phillip School of Beauty Culture in 1979. Her career reflected her dedication and diverse talents; Most recently, she served as an assistant bakery manager at Giant for nearly a decade. Before then, she managed Holiday Hair for ten years, and worked as a support aide in both the Philadelphia school district and Centennial School District. She recently retired in March of 2025.

Debbie was not only dedicated to her career but also excelled in her various roles as a coach, leader, and devoted mother and grandmother. She coached soccer and led Girl Scouts, always bringing a spirit of fun and intentionality to every endeavor. Her culinary skills were renowned; whether it was baking or cooking, Debbie had a gift for bringing people together, often inviting family and friends over for the holidays, where she would host memorable gatherings filled with love and laughter.

Debbie was the heart of her family - endlessly giving, fiercely loving, and filled with strength that inspired everyone around her. She had a gift for making people feel cared for, welcomed, and loved, and she lived every day with kindness, humor, and selflessness. Her warmth and unwavering love created a home and a legacy that will live on forever in the hearts of her children, grandchildren, and all who knew her.

Debbie lived a life devoted to her children, grandchildren, and those she loved. She was the proud and endlessly dedicated mother of:  Jack (Cristin) Eckhardt, Debbie (Kyle) Peppe, Dan (Bianca) Eckhardt, and Tom (Melanie) Eckhardt.  Her six grandchildren: Sydney, Zoey, Liam, Lily, Bennett, and Casey, were her greatest joy and the light of her life. She loved each of them beyond measure and found her deepest happiness in being their “Meemaw.”

She is survived by her stepfather, Thomas Owens, her children and their spouses, her six cherished grandchildren, her siblings: George (Heather) Reichart IV and Jennifer Lee Senatz, along with many beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, George Reichart III, mother, Patricia Owens, sister, Patricia Horvath, grandmother, Katherine Ott, and former husband, John Eckhardt, whom she now joins in eternal peace.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Debbie's life at 12 p.m., Sunday, November 2, 2024 at Reed & Steinbach Funeral Home, 2335 Lower State Road, Doylestown, where the family will greet guests from 10 a.m. until the time of the service. Here, those who knew and loved Debbie will gather to honor her memory, sharing stories of her kindness and warmth and celebrating the profound impact she had on all who crossed her path.  Interment will be private.

Debbie's strength, compassion, and unconditional love will never be forgotten. She will forever remain the heart and soul of her family, and will forever be missed.
