Deborah "Debbie"
Giovene
November 13, 2025
Deborah "Debbie" Giovene, 73, of Henderson, Nevada—forever a Jersey girl at heart—passed away on November 13, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. Known for her warmth and unwavering devotion to those she cherished, Debbie lived a life defined by love, connection, and celebration.
She is survived by her husband, Bob, and her four children—Justin, Amy, Hope, and Faith—who were her greatest pride. She was a devoted sister to Diane, Janet, and Linda, and to her brother Danny. She was also a proud aunt to 10 nieces and nephews, all of whom she loved dearly. Debbie was a beloved mother-in-law to Joe and Tony, and a deeply adored grandmother to Austin, Avery, Scarlett, Hazel, Peyton, and Kya. Her grandchildren were, without question, the light of her life.
A true people-person, Debbie made it a point to reconnect with old friends every time she returned to New Jersey. Those visits were filled with laughter, stories, and the kind of joy only lifelong friendships could bring.
Debbie loved floating in the pool with her dogs, chatting on FaceTime with her grandchildren, and staying connected to the people she loved most. During her years in New Jersey, she was known for hosting the best parties and holiday celebrations—events filled with warmth, good food, and unforgettable memories.
To her family, Debbie was the glue—the steady, loving presence who held everyone together with her kindness and boundless love. Her absence leaves a profound emptiness in the lives of those who adored her.
Debbie will be missed dearly, but the love she poured into her family and friends will continue to ripple through their lives for years to come.
