Deborah Hidy, RN, born on June 27, 1957. A caring and loving woman devoted to her family and her profession, Deborah left us all too soon on March 16, 2024.

Deb was a beacon of love and support in our lives, and she leaves behind many loved ones who will remember her fondly. She is survived by her cherished husband, Curtis Hidy, her caring siblings, Phyllis Peterson, Michael Peterson, and Diane Baumgartner. Additionally, Deborah will be remembered by her brother-in-law Pete Baumgartner, sister-in-law Rebecca Peterson, and her beloved nephews Brady Baumgartner, Benjamin Baumgartner, and Zachary Peterson.

Deb was a dedicated woman, always striving for the best. She graduated from Brady High School in Brady, NE, in 1975. Following her passion for helping others, Deborah continued her education at St. Francis Hospital School of Nursing and graduated as a Registered Nurse in 1978. Her commitment to the well-being of others was a testament to her character and her nurturing spirit.

Then in 1987, life led her to Curtis Hidy, they got married and created countless beautiful memories together. An important one being the frequent visits back to their family in Nebraska, which was among Deb's favorite vacation spots. Not just for the scenic beauty of her home state, but for the familial bonds that were woven there. In remembrance of Deb, we recall her favorite color, purple, a hue that echoed her elegance, and the calmness she brought in every situation. We remember her not just with tears of sorrow but with the warmth of countless memories.

She was predeceased by her loving parents, Lyle and Barbra Peterson, their memories still holding a special place in her heart.

The world may have lost a generous soul, but the heavens gained an angel. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all who have been touched by Deb's kindness in their lives. And finally to our friend Maria, without you being in our lives, Deb's last few years would not and could not have been as comfortable and happy as they were. There are no words that can express the gratitude that both Deb and I have for all that you have done.

Private family services will be held. 

Interment will follow in the Gothenburg Cemetery, Gothenburg, Nebraska.

Memorials may be given to the Alzheimer's Association
