DEBORAH SABEL
1959-2025
In loving memory of Deborah (Debbie) A. Sabel (age 65)
Debbie was an amazing wife, mother, daughter, grandmother, and friend. She met a boy when she was 14, and began to date Bob when she was 16. From high school sweethearts, to studying to be a nurse in the back of his truck while he was at the race track, that was the beginning of their love story. They truly built a life around the love they had for each other. Building a life together, they started a family of 2 boys, Rob the oldest and Craig the youngest. She loved being a mother more than anything in life. She had a heart of gold to anyone she met. She was a mother to kids that weren't even blood and a friend to anyone who needed someone to talk to. Debbie was a LPN nurse and she put it to use any way she could. She cared for the whole neighborhood whether it was kids or elderly; if you had a need, she was there that day without expecting anything in return. There was never a doubt how much she loved those around her.
She also loved Jesus and followed him with all her heart. From attending weekly church, to prayers every night, she always trusted in him. She was a member of Saint Christine for over 50 years. She loved cooking, cleaning, building puzzles, babysitting grandkids, laying in the pool, going to kids/grandkids sporting events, gardening, going to the casino, and having her family over for dinner. Debbie was a true giver to all and humble servant of Jesus. Her grandkids always held a special part in her heart. There wasn't anything she wouldn't do for them.
She leaves behind 6 grandkids, Rylo Mocker, Ayden Sabel, Jayden Sabel, Jameson Sabel, Teigan Sabel, and Zayne Sabel. There are so many other kids that called her mom, grandma, and aunt because she loved everyone. She also left behind her husband, best friend, and high school sweet heart, Robert Sabel, son Robert Sabel (Ashley), son Craig Sabel (Tahnee), stepfather Jerry Rehak, brother James Dravec (Anna), brother-in-law Thomas Sabel (Patty), stepbrother Brad Rehak (Candy), David Rehak, and best friend Debbie Griffing.
Friends and family are invited to attend calling hours from 10-11 at St. Christine on Thursday, October 16th, 2025. Mass will be held immediately after. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Friends of Fido in memory of Deborah Sabel.
Debbie will be truly missed forever.
May God watch over her soul and guide her way.
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying and pain, for the old order of things has passed away.
Revelations 21:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they be comforted.
