Age 71 of Tonawanda, New York, passed away unexpectedly on July 18, 2026. Born in Buffalo, New York, she was the beloved daughter of the late Thomas and Patricia Walker. Deb devoted her life to her family, finding joy in both special celebrations and the simple, everyday moments they shared. She will be remembered for her warm heart, her captivating sense of humor, and the happiness she brought to everyone around her. Those who knew Deb will remember her quick smile, her loving spirit, and the constant guidance she gave her family, always showing that they were the center of her world. Deb is survived by her loving husband, David Gadt; her daughter, Melissa Schlueter (Tim Schlueter); and her son, David Thomas Gadt. She was a proud grandmother to James Gadt, Austin Gadt, and Eliana Schlueter, and a cherished great-grandmother to Emelyn and Beau Gadt. She is also survived by her brother, Tom Walker, as well as many extended family members and dear friends who will miss her deeply.
