Debra Ann (Conder) Buchta

Debra Ann Buchta (née Conder), aged 64, passed away peacefully on November 1, 2026. Born in Utah on March 4, 1962, to veteran Keith Stanley Conder and Rosemary Conder (born in Lehi, Utah), Debra was the life of the party—radiantly kind, endlessly generous, deeply forgiving, and always going above and beyond for others without expecting anything in return. Her love for family and friends was unparalleled, and her previous marriage to Bud Ross was a significant chapter in her life filled with cherished memories.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Keith and Rosemary Conder; her brother, Boyd Conder; her son, Nicholas Keith Conder (2023); and her infant granddaughter, Mirical Ross (2010). Though her heart carried the weight of these profound losses, her love for her family remained unfaltering. 

She is survived by her sister, Marie; her best friends whom she called sisters, Sandy and Holly; her daughter, Geneva Ross, and son-in-law, Michael Cooley; her son, Wade Thomas Ross III, and daughter-in-law, Amy Grisham; her daughters-in-law, Jessa Ross and Ann Conder; and her grandchildren—Tank, Veah, Michael, Trenton, Cody, and Isabella—as well as others who brought immense joy to her life. Her warmth and legacy of selfless love will remain forever in the hearts of those who knew her. We would like to thank her family at Best Court.
