DEBRA LEA (BLISH) GABAREE
JERICHO - Deb passed away unexpectedly Monday evening, Nov. 29, 2010, surrounded by her family. Born April 18, 1956 to Doug and Dorthy Blish, she was raised in Jonesville and later Huntington. Deb was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a great sister, a special aunt, and an unbelievable grandmother, but above all, she was the most caring person that you would have ever met. Deb had many hobbies and interests, including crocheting, bingo, fishing, hunting, card playing, and collecting angels.
She loved her Chinese buffets, casinos, and playing the slots. She also enjoyed spending the summers at their camp in Swanton with her friends, but most of all, she enjoyed spending every chance with her husband, kids, and grandkids, whom were her life. Deb was predeceased by her parents, Doug and Dorthy Blish; and her two brothers, Steven and Doug Blish. She is survived by her husband of 38 years, Bruce G. Gabaree of Jericho; their three children and their partners, Steven and Kim Gabaree of Georgia, April L. Gabaree and Chris Evans of Jericho, and Bruce H. Gabaree and Sara Fletcher of Essex Junction; her dog, B.B. of Jericho; four grandchildren, Steven and Tanika Gabaree and Brandon and Kyle Evans; her three sisters and their husbands, Sue and Bill White of Huntington, Sindy and Gary Fay of Huntington, and Sheila and Chris Klettz of Lincoln. She also leaves behind a large family of brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, and countless friends, including the people she worked with every day. Special thanks to the people at Fletcher Allen, the E.R. Unit, and the wonderful people on Shepardson 4. Also, Trombly's Greenhouse of Northfield for the beautiful flowers. Calling hours will be held Friday, Dec. 3, 2010 from 4 to 7 p.m. with a memorial service to be held at 7 p.m. at the Gifford Funeral Home, 22 Depot. St., Richmond, which is in charge of arrangements.
