Born in Cleveland, Deb was the cherished daughter of the late Alexander and Irene Dubitsky. She shared 56 beautiful years of marriage with her devoted husband, Joseph, building a life centered on family and unconditional love. Deb was a proud and loving mother to Keith (Brenda) and Kevin (Laura), and her greatest joy came from being “Grandma” to Nick (Stephanie) Imes, Sandi (David) Holb, Samantha (Taylor) Frisby, Alexis (Joe Frate), Dylan, Savannah (Ian Burry), Barrett, Carson (Jessie Koeth), Lola (Tommy Biehl), Logan, Luke, and Landon. She was also a deeply proud great-grandmother to Kendall Imes, Bella Holb, Paxton Holb, Tyson Frisby, Ellie Holb, and Lucas Holb, each of whom held a special place in her heart.
Deb was the dear sister of David (Georgette, deceased) Dubitsky; sister-in-law of Walter (Leatha, deceased) Mroczka and Edward (Michelle) Mroczka (deceased); and a beloved aunt and treasured friend to many who were blessed to know her.
For over 30 years, Deb lovingly cared for children as the owner of Small Miracles Day Care in North Royalton, where she was affectionately known as “Miss Deb.” To countless families, she was more than a caregiver—she was a source of comfort, laughter, and love. She also helped operate the family’s Country Club Campground in Seville, Ohio, from 1976 to 1986, creating lasting memories for generations.
Deb was an incredible cook, and her kitchen was the heart of her home. Sunday family cookouts, filled with vodka and cranberry, food, laughter, and grandchildren running about, were among her greatest joys and will forever be treasured.
Above all else, Deb will be remembered for her warm heart, generous spirit, gentle strength, and unwavering love for her family. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her love will live on in the lives she touched.
