Debra Stone

She is survived by her husband, Robert Stone; her children Nicholas (Heather) Peavler, Julie (Cary) Carpenter and Emily (Christopher) Smith. She is also survived by grandchildren: Ellie Carpenter, Owen Carpenter, Robbie Smith and Tate Smith. She was preceded in death by her parents Lloyd and Elsie Bruner

Debbie was a fierce woman – holding fast to her beliefs, showing up when it mattered, giving to those in need, and defending her loved ones should the need arise. Whatever location she and Bob called home, Christ’s love moved through her as she made a point to make all those she encountered feel important and special. Debbie was a dedicated wife and mother, intent on making memories and cherishing every moment with Bob, Julie, Nick, and Emily. She especially loved and embraced her role as “Gigi” to Ellie, Owen, Robbie, and Tate.

There are not enough words to accurately describe Debbie Stone. You had to experience “Debbie Stone”. The impact she has made will never be forgotten and forever lives within us.

“What was once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose. For all that we love deeply becomes a part of us.” – Helen Keller

A funeral service will be held at 10am on Saturday February 12 at Palm Valley Church (Goodyear Campus).

The family suggests that donations be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital.
