GALE, Deborah Lynn Gale
December 7, 2025
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Deborah Lynn Gale, on December 7, 2025, at the age of 68.
A beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend, Debbie cherished lifeβs simple joysβcrafting, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her extended family. Her warmth and creativity touched everyone who knew her.
She leaves behind her devoted husband Paul Awalt, and her children Donna Awalt, Tammy Awalt, and Stephen Awalt. Debbie was a proud grandmother to Kay Lee Awalt Narciso (Dylan), Desiree Awalt (Adam), and Corey Giesbrecht, and a loving great-grandmother to Isla Brawley, Emelia Brawley, Daxton Narciso, and Selena Narciso.
Debbie will be deeply missed by her siblings Linda (Mike) Lepore, Jeanette (Rob) Brown, Paulette (late Bill) Hopper, Susan Shepherd, Sharon Purvis, June Paquette, and Harry Lark. She is predeceased by Christine Scott, Skip Welch, Frank Bumstead, and Earl Duncan. Her memory will live on in the hearts of many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
As per Debbieβs wishes, cremation has taken place. A private family Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
