Debbie was predeceased by her parents, John and Dorothy Goray and her beloved auntie Mary Pachkowski. Thank you to Debbie's Calvary Place family for the excellent care and love provided to her. Funeral service will be held at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. on Tuesday, February 12, at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Jim Poirier officiating. Viewing one hour prior to the service. Interment to follow at Brookside Cemetery. Pallbearers will be Dan, David and Thomas Goray and Kerry, Tyler and Terrence Sampson.

I will miss Debra but I know that she is in heaven with Jesus and that is the best place to be. I will remember her smile, laughter and just a kind and gentle heart. She was always thinking of others and that is something I will never forget. I am praying for you all as a family as I know that this is not an easy time and that God will grant you His grace and strength at this time. - Posted by: Carolin Bouwman (HCA) on: Feb 11, 2019

It's a long time ago now since the Pisiaks and the Gorays were country neighbours on that stretch of gravel road in Rhodes, just west of Ethelbert. But even though it's been decades now, there's that unbreakable bond, having come from the same little place. Memories will keep us as neighbours, and someday we'll all meet again. Condolences to the Goray family, we are so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace Debbie. - Posted by: Mrs. Mary Pisiak and family (former neighbours from Ethelbert) on: Feb 10, 2019

Way back in the day, we lived on a farm in Rhodes, just west of Ethelbert, and the Gorays were our neighbours down the road, just a long par-5 south of us. A very nice family. I was only about 7-yrs-old when they moved to Winnipeg and we moved into Ethelbert, but I can still remember them. Condolences to Debbie's family. Rest in peace Debbie. - Posted by: Bradley Pisiak (former neighbours from Ethelbert) on: Feb 09, 2019
