Obituary

Deborah (Debbie) Lynn Moore Copley was born September 21, 1955, to the late Eskham B. and Anita (Smith) Moore. She departed this life on November 27, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

Debbie is preceded in death by her above-mentioned parents, husband Ed Copley, daughter Toni Moore-Williams, and son Joshua Copley and four brothers.

Deborah leaves to cherish her memory: son, Ed Moore; daughter, Tonya Moore; grandchildren, Tiffani (Jake), Talon, Cassie (Mitchell), Carlee, Caden, Harley, and Luke; great-grandchildren, Waylon and Wyatt; a brother, and many nieces and nephews.

Debbie lived for her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids. Being their mom, Nana, and great Nana was the role she cherished most.

But before she had kids, she lived an adventurous life.  She traveled around the Big Time Wrestling territory of Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, and Kentucky with her husband who performed as a heel manager, tag-team champion, Heavyweight champion, and he had a gimmick of wrestling Victor the Bear.

Once they started a family, they retired from the pro-wrestling circuit and settled back down in Columbus, Ohio, where they started their family business, Copley's Moving, in 1988, where she worked until she retired in 2021.

In her retirement life, when not celebrating her grandkids & great grandkids, she enjoyed playing bingo and pressing her luck at the casino.
