Deborah Kay Willson Harvey, born to Maxwell and Larena Willson in North Platte, Nebraska, on February 13, 1951, peacefully passed away in Loveland, Colorado, surrounded by her family. Preceding her in death were her parents and three sisters: Jean Humphrey, Betty Humphrey, and Joanne Grady.
Debbie, as she was fondly known, graduated from North Platte High School and later married Frank Aloi. She is survived by her daughter Robyn Drake, her husband Shawn, and grandchildren Frankie, Max, and Rowan; her son Ryan Aloi, his wife Katherine, and grandchildren Cianna, Mateya, and Solomon; and her son Scott Aloi, his wife Natalie Savage, and their children Merrily, Wellan, and Jones.
In 2006, Debbie found love again with Randy Harvey, and together they enjoyed years of travel and companionship until his passing in 2010. Later reconnecting as friends with Frank Aloi, they bonded over family and shared interests in westerns. In 2020, Debbie relocated to Colorado to be closer to family and found companionship with Jim Craddock, enjoying evening walks, dining out in Loveland, and drives in his Mustang convertible. Jim passed away in September 2022.
Debbie's warm smile and love for her family and friends endeared her to many. She was joyfully present at her eldest granddaughter's wedding in September 2023, cherishing every moment with her loved ones.
Debbie's internment will be held at the North Platte cemetery on Monday, August 12th at 9:30am. Immediately following at 10:30am, a Celebration of Life brunch will take place at the Community Playhouse (Canteen room) at 301 E. 5th St, North Platte, Nebraska.
