Deborah Neustifter Obituary

Deborah Sue "Deb" Neustifter, age 71, of Oshkosh, passed away on Tuesday October 25, 2022, at Aurora Medical Center in Oshkosh. She was born in Oshkosh on August 23, 1951, the daughter of the late Elbert Wiles and Joan Sweet Wiles. Deb attended Oshkosh High School. She married Jerry "Knife" Neustifter in Oshkosh on October 15, 1976. Deb began working as an in-home daycare provider, then worked with family at Moe's Marina. She worked in various positions at Cub Foods in Oshkosh, retiring as the Cake Decorator and Bakery Manager. After retirement she worked as a housekeeper for several families in the Fox Valley.

Deb was a fan of the Milwaukee Brewers and live music/concerts. She also very much enjoyed annual trips to Fort Myers Beach and re-connecting with the number of friends that she and Jerry had made there throughout the years.

Deb is survived by her husband; Jerry "Knife" Neustifter, of Oshkosh, one son; Chad (Brittany) Neustifter, Oshkosh, one daughter; Christine (Greg) Weitz, Oshkosh, three grandchildren; Samuel (Nicole) Weitz, Oshkosh, Lucas Weitz, Oshkosh, Madeline Weitz, Oshkosh, two sisters; Linda Schabloski, Oshkosh, and Jackie Harrington, North Carolina, one brother; Rick (Pam) Wiles, Oshkosh. Deb is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other relatives, and friends.

Deb was preceded in death by one niece; Andrea Schabloski.

Deb brought an abundance of passion and love to the world, and an energy for what she believed was right. Her many friends will always be touched by the pure passion she had for living life to the fullest. She was always the life of the party on vacation and at concerts and she will be missed by those whose lives she has touched. From their vacation spot in Florida, to her many family members and friends, Deb was easy-going, quick with a laugh (especially at inappropriate times) and always knew how to bring a smile to everyone's face. Deb never turned down a request from anyone that needed help. In particular, she would drop whatever she was doing any time one of her grandkids wanted or needed her!

Deb, you were so much more than you thought you were, and you did so much more than you thought you did. You were important to more people than you know, simply by being you. Losing you hurts beyond belief. Our love will never die.

Family and friends are invited to join in a celebration of Deb's life at Poklasny Funeral Home (870 W South Park) on Saturday November 5, from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM. There will be a time of remembrance for anyone that would like to share stories or memories of Deb.

A private burial will take place at Riverside Cemetery on a later date.

Knife, I have so many wonderful memories of the both of you. Everything from the Roxy having dinner to softball games. Debs laugh was infectious and she had such a spunky spirit to her. Please know that my heart is with your family during this difficult time. Prayers for comfort.
