In loving memory of Debbie Cifranic, who passed away at home at the age of 73 on June 17. Survived by her siblings: Pat Lesnick (Jim), Jeff Cifranic (Chris), Dale Cifranic (Sue). Loving Aunt to the following: Tim (Cindy), Kimberly, Mindy (Kris), Michael (Nikki), Luke, Jackie, Kelly (Dan), Jacob, and Jen. Dearest Great Aunt to: RJ, Austin, Nick, Ben, Julia, Paige, Stephanie, Jason, Justin, Bob, Sara, Blaise, Sloan, and Gemma.

Debbie worked for 30+ years for the Navy Finance Center later known as DFAS. In that time, she made lifelong friends who she continued to spend quality time with long into retirement. She was a dedicated volunteer with the St. Joseph Outreach. She took great pride in her nieces, nephews, and great-nieces & nephews. Aunt (uncle) Debbie or "Bubba" was a constant, supportive and loving influence in their lives. Anyone who knew her is sure to have heard her sharing her stories and photos of their latest accomplishments no matter how great or small. While they didn't always play to her level of expectations, Debbie could always keep you up to date on the Cavs and Guardians as an enthusiastic fan. She was deeply loved by all those who knew her and will be greatly missed.
