Debra Huber Smith, age 65 of Hebron, Nebraska passed into heaven in Lincoln, Nebraska on October 23, 2020 to be with family and friends.
She was born on January 12, 1955 to Phyllis and Pete Huber of Cozad, Nebraska.
Debra was confirmed in the American Lutheran Church in Cozad, and was a 1973 graduate of Cozad High School.
It takes a special person to raise a special needs child, she did this with the help of Miranda Fierce, and strong, independent and loving are just a few words to describe Deb. She was admired by many.
Deb had a heart of gold and was loyal to a fault. Her smile and the sparkle in her eyes will be remembered as well as her infectious laughter. She could light up a room with her smile. Deb was a successful woman in all of her ventures and an intelligent woman.
She is survived by her husband, Jay of Hebron, Nebraska; son, Gavin Hatcher of Hebron, Nebraska; daughter, Miranda Hatcher of Lincoln, Nebraska; sisters, Ramona (Wes) Neben of Lexington, Nebraska, Kathy (Chuck) Brauer of North Platte, Nebraska, Shelly Enyeart and friend Capri of Palm Springs, California, Lana (Mike) Nicolen of Holdrege, Nebraska; grandchildren, Henry Hatcher, Lillianna Hatcher and Jack Casebolt all of Lincoln, Nebraska.
A memorial has been established in Debra’s name to be designated at a later date.
