Debra “Deb” A. Bachman, 62, of Bristol, passed away on the morning of Thursday, November 2, 2023, surrounded by her loving family. Born on April 1, 1961, the daughter of the late Patrick Sr. and Barbara (Brown) Napolitano, Deb was the best friend and wife of her husband Christopher Bachman for 40 years.

Besides her parents, Deb is predeceased by her son Mitchell Bachman.
