Reunited in Heaven, Donald J. Weisend and Deborah A. Weisend Nee Kovach, were married on May 14, 1977. They celebrated their lives together with their family until their deaths. Our parents leaned on one another through trials and ordeals of life. It was said that our dad needed mom as a crutch to get up the stairs to heaven and how fitting that truly was because as they were soulmates in life, their journey will continue on in Heaven.
Donald J. Weisend, age 65, passed away peacefully at home on December 10, 2021.

She was born on January 11, 1958 in Cleveland, OH. She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert Kovach and Katharina “Kay” Kovach nee Balog. Deborah “Debbie” worked as a legal secretary up until her death. She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother who enjoyed doting on her husband, friends and family. She played on a bowling league with friends and loved having day excursions with friends. Many have reached out to the family to say that our mother was an angel on earth who gained her wings.
