"Deb took us and our boys as her own. We spent countless days and hours in the woods, four wheeling and playdate dinners at the cabin. We will always think of her in these activities and know she is with us. "
In loving memory of
Debra Marie Givler
August 21, 1962 - December 21, 2021

Chris passed away unexpectedly on Feb. 7, 2000, in a work related accident. Deb had a great love of Arizona, her cabin in Pinetop, fishing, camping and 4-wheeling. She also loved volunteering at a local animal shelter from where she adopted many of her beloved rescue dogs. She loved spending time with her two sons and shared their passion for sports, especially the Arizona Coyotes hockey team. Deb was one of the generous giving persons one could ever meet.
Survivors are her sons, Jerric of Phoenix and Justin of San Diego, Calif.; mother Delores Patocka of Norfolk; brother Dan (Nancy) Moore of Norfolk; sister Diane Moore of Omaha; stepsister Hayley (Tony) Jelinek of Kearney; step brother Russell (Michelle) Patocka of Phoenix; and extended family and friends.
