Deborah Kaye (Jarvey) Short

On Saturday, March 31, 2018 we bid farewell to our loving mother, grandmother and sister, Deborah K. Short.  She passed away at her home, surrounded by her loving family. Gone too soon but always in our hearts.  A Celebration of Life will be held this Saturday, April 7th at 2:00 PM at the Knights of Columbus, 906 Central Ave. West.

Deborah loved her family and was happiest spending time with them.  During her last two and a half years she lived with Jen Taub-Smith, whom she loved like a daughter.
