Nearly two decades ago, Mark Wahlberg’s life was forever altered. Just as the actor was celebrating the birth of his first child, Ella Rae Wahlberg, he received the heartbreaking news that his sister, Deborah Donnelly-Wahlberg, had died unexpectedly.
What happened to Mark Wahlbergs sister Debbie?
Donnelly-Wahlberg was 43 years old at the time. She was being treated in a Boston hospital for a suspected kidney stone when she suffered a fatal heart attack during a procedure.
It was both the best and worst day of his life. He’ll be reminded of it every year on his child’s birthday. Though the tragedy of losing his beloved sister will never be forgotten, Wahlberg has seven older siblings who are always there for him, Arthur, James, Michelle, Paul, Tracey, Robert, and Donnie Wahlberg.
On his father’s side, he has three half-brothers and half-sisters: Scott, Buddy, and Donna. Aside from that, he has a lovely family of his own, including wife Rhea Durham and children Ella, Grace, Brendan, and Michael.
