Deborah Buford Obituary

On November 14, 2024, Deborah took the hands of her parents (Paul and Martha Kovach) and began walking the narrow path to Heaven. After her stroll was completed, she was met in the glorious garden by her husband, Jimmy Buford; sister, Nancy Kovach; grandson, Evan Buford; and her close friend, Bernadette Burns.

This Thanksgiving, as we pass around her “Kiflis”, “green jello”, and amazing stuffing, rest assured many memories will be shared by Jennifer (Thomas) Ohda, Jeff Buford, Jamie (Susan) Buford, Susie (Rex) Norris, and the grandchildren: Adam, Alexis, Katelyn, Jared, Jax, Gi’Anna, Ella and Juss.
