Debra Lynn Sweatman

October 30, 1958 – August 8, 2022

Debra Lynn Sweatman passed away peacefully on Monday, August 8, 2022, at the age of 63 with the majority of her family by her side. Debbie was born on October 30, 1958, in Jamestown, New York to the late Holland Butler and Marlene Butler.  From a young age, she found her passion was working with animals and continued that throughout her life. She had the ability to walk in a show ring and her presence alone would win the show. Debbie was hard working and determined to achieve what she set her mind to and never wavered on what she believed in. That determination and fight continued through to the end where she found peace in knowing that she would be with her Lord and Savior and free from the chains of her disease. With that, we can find peace in knowing that she is resting easy and has been reunited with her family and friends, her favorite hillbilly, David Randall, her beloved stallion, Sunny, and her dogs, Foxy, Tara, and Pidge (Goonis). Her many wood carvings, crafts, paintings, plants, and her love for baking that she generously passed down will be forever cherished and held dearly to our hearts.

Those left to cherish her memory are her husband, Don Sweatman; her sons, Gust A. Paivanas III (Leah) and Angelo C. Paivanas, her daughter, Astacia L. Lovelace (Dustin), her grandchildren, Hailey Paivanas, Deacon Paivanas, Kallie Paivanas, Brianna Paivanas, Alexis Paivanas, and Kadence Lovelace, her siblings, Pam Cirrito (Frank), Mona Butler, Cindy Butler (Rick Kaczar), Paul Bulter (Krisy), Aaron Butler (Jenna), and Alisha Hills (Darren), a host of nieces and nephews; and her lifelong best friend/sister cousin, Judy Randall.

A private celebration of life will be determined by family at a later time.
