Deborah Ray Gebhart

Deborah Ray Gebhart, born November 27, 1958, passed away on March 6, 2026. She was born in rock springs wy, to Doyle Kay Boren and Juanita Lee Atwood, she lived her childhood in Manila Ut, later moving to Arizona, Colorado then moved back to Utah to vernal where she lived the rest of her life, She graduated high school. And later married the love of her life Kenneth Doyle Gebhart, they had 2 children together Angie Gebhart and Bud Gebhart, they later divorced but stayed very close.

She was truly one of a kind-someone whose love, humor, and hardworking spirit left a mark on everyone lucky enough to know her.

Deb spent part of her life working as a cotton ginner before later moving and setting up mobile homes with the Gebharts, She was never one to sit still. If you were looking for her, you would almost always find her outside working on something, fixing something, or helping someone. She had a crafty soul and a giving heart, always making things for others. If you knew Deb, chances are you have something she made with her own hands, because she put her love into everything she created.

To most people, Deborah wasn't just Deborah. Once you met her, you quickly knew her as "Granny." That's what everyone called her-unless they had their own special nickname for her. She had a way of making people feel like family.

She loved her children, Angie and Bud, with her whole heart. But when she became a granny she would jokingly say she loved her grandkids even more. Then came the great-grandchildren, and she would laugh and tell the grandkids, "I love you, but these babies got you beat now." Her family was the center of her world, and the love she had for them knew no limits.

Deb loved fishing, camping, and puttering around outdoors. She believed if a man could do something, so could she. It might not have always been the proper way, but it was her redneck way-and somehow it always worked. She never cared much for fancy things. As long as she had her family and friends, she had everything she needed.

If you ever went to visit her, it didn't matter if you stayed five minutes or five hours-when it came time to leave, she would always ask, "Do you need anything?" If you did, she would find it for you. If she didn't have it, she would make sure she had it the next time you came by. And even if you said you didn't need a thing, chances are you still left with something anyway. As you walked out the door, she'd always say with a smile, "Come back and visit when you can't stay so long. I love you. Bye."

She had a funny personality and was always saying or doing something that would make people laugh. But if she was in a bad mood, you'd better watch out. She was also the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back, the shoes off her feet, or even her very last dollar if you needed it.

Deborah Ray Gebhart was truly one in a billion. Trying to put into words what an incredible, loving, and amazing person she was is almost impossible. As a family, we could talk about her for days and still not fully capture the impact she had on our lives.

She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by the many lives she touched with her kindness, strength, humor, and love.

if heaven has a front porch, you can bet Granny is out there right now, puttering around, making something for someone, and waiting for the rest of us to come visit, and more than likely will have something to say about no one ever coming to see her.

She is survived by her children Angie Gebhart (aka Myrtle), and Bud & Beth Gebhart; her grandchildren Chelcy & Cory Wingard (aka Hef & Wewe), Brennon Greenhow (aka Gump), Draven & Makayla Greenhow, Payton & Tinieh Tavares, Ashtin Gebhart, Hagen & Bubbles Gebhart, and Breanna Gardiner (aka Leadfoot); 13 great-grandchildren; her siblings Robin Boren aka (bestest fweind) Dale Boren, Dallas & Aileen Boren, and Theresa & Rick Tingle, along with many other loved ones.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother Dewain Boren; her sister Rayola Rust; her husband Kenny Gebhart; her brothers Marshall Gebhart and Terry Gebhart; her great-granddaughter Hannah Smuin; her niece Rhonda Gilbert; her nephew James Elliott; her very close and dear friend Jimmie Greenhow; and many other loved ones who welcomed her home.

Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort knowing that her love, laughter, and the many things she made with her hands will live on in all of us. Every time we fish, sit by a campfire, work outside, or hold something she made, we will be reminded that Granny's love will always be with us.

And we know if heaven has a front porch, you can bet Granny is out there right now, puttering around, making something for someone, and waiting for the rest of us to come visit, and more than likely will have something to say about no one ever coming to see her
