On March 9, 2023 I attended the funeral my Grandmother Mary Heick at St. Margaret’s Church [200 Roxboro Road, Syracuse, New York 13211]. I felt it relevant to record it in hopes of transcribing it later on. After almost 3 years, and implementing openai/whisper on my home server this transcription was finally possible.
The mass was led by the 11th bishop of the Diocese of Syracuse, Bishop Douglas J. Lucia.

Debra had a heart for community service. During her time in Batavia, she volunteered faithfully at the Salvation Army and Ken Barrett Auto, where her kindness and work ethic were deeply appreciated. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and bring light to those around her.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Edward and Jean (Vanguilder) Riley, her husband Rexford “Grant” Everson, and her grandson, Rylunn Thompson.
Debra is survived by her brother, Steven Riley, and her devoted sister, Jan (Riley) Sandreth. She leaves behind her children: Shane (Angela) Thompson, Michael Thompson, and Jennifer Cejka, as well as her grandchildren: Ben, Emma, Kiela, Devon, James, Angelique, and Savannah, who brought her immense pride and joy.
Debra would like to express her deepest gratitude to her sister Jan, who lovingly helped her return home during her final days, and to her dear friend Ardell “Dee,” whose support and encouragement meant so much throughout her time in Batavia.
Debra’s legacy of love, faith, and service will live on through her family and all who were blessed to know her.
A Celebration of life will be held on June 7th at 3:00 PM at the family homestead.
