Deborah A. Smith, On Saturday, January 5, 2019, Deborah A. Smith, wonderful mother and exceptional human being, passed away at the young age of 67. Deborah was born on October 20, 1951 in Spangler, PA to Stephen F. and Jeanne (Vallery) Bobick. She had several careers throughout her life; dental hygienist, co-manager at a Kroger, co-owner and manager of a Century III Foodland- but none that she was more proud of than being a full-time single mother to daughter Stephanie and son Brett. Deborah was a lover of life, and enjoyed traveling and gambling, but most enjoyed the simple pleasures- looking for animals in her backyard or watching the sunset with a good cup of coffee. She is best remembered for her larger-than-life personality and sense of humor. Even while receiving chemotherapy treatments she had the nurses and patients laughing. Deborah is preceded in death by her father Stephen, mother Jeanne, and brother Richard. She is survived by her children, Stephanie and Brett. As per her wishes, she did not want a funeral service. Instead, please consider making a donation in her memory to Magee-Women's Research Institute for Breast Cancer, or giving care packages to the patients at Magee-Women's Hospital Women's Cancer Center. https://mageewomens.org/giving/donation-form/
