Deborah Cabral Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Thomas B. Dobies Funeral Home & Crematory - Holiday on Dec. 18, 2025.
Deborah "Grimmy" Cabral, a beloved mother, daughter, sister, auntie, grandmother, great-grandmother, friend, and angel, passed away peacefully on December 4, 2025, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 73 years young.

Born in Massachusetts, Deborah carried her strength, warmth, and deep love for family with her throughout her life. She was a woman of God, a listening ear, and a steady shoulder to cry on for so many who were blessed to know her. Her kindness, compassion, and unwavering faith touched countless lives.

Deborah was the proud and loving wife of the late Joseph Edward Cabral. She was a beautiful mother to James Cabral and Misty Cabral of New Port Richey; Victoria Powers of St. Petersburg; and Adrienne and Len Longo of Maine. Nothing brought her more joy than her family-especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Brianna and Luke Dinnell, Grace Cabral, Gabriel Powers, Olivia Dinnell, Hunter Ammons, Holly Ammons, Azalea Dinnell, Ayden Carlton, and Tinsley Smith, who were the light of her life.

She is also lovingly remembered by her sisters, Jamie Conerty and Christine Reynolds.

Affectionately known as "Grimmy," she cherished every moment spent with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Her happiest times were filled with laughter, sunshine, and togetherness. She loved the beach, cruising, shopping at HSN, and soaking up the warmth of the sun-always finding joy in life's simple pleasures.

A Celebration of Life will be held on January 17, 2026. The family is currently finalizing the location and will share details once arrangements are complete.

For those wishing to send flowers, arrangements may be made to Dobies Funeral Home – Onsite Chapel, located at 4244 Madison St, New Port Richey, FL 34652.

Deborah's love was unconditional, her heart was gentle, and her presence was a gift. Though she was taken far too soon, her legacy of faith, love, and devotion to family will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
