Deborah R. Lindsey

August 26th, 1961 – January 14th, 2021

Deborah R. Lindsey, age 59 of Astoria, Illinois passed away at 11:45 am on Thursday, January 14, 2021 in Rushville, Illinois. She was born on August 26, 1961 in Rushville, the daughter of Roy Lee “Dode” and Margaret Ann (Thompson) Hollenback. She was married to Roger Lindsey from 1980 to 1997.

She is survived by her two daughters, Amber (and Anthony) Sparrow of Macomb, Illinois and Rachel (and Jeremiah Miller) Lindsey of Astoria, her partner, Robbie Adkins of Astoria, with whom she made her home, his sons Shawn (and Kylie) Easley of Good Hope, Illinois and Kyle Adkins of Kincaid, Illinois, 9 grandchildren; Chloe Chambers, Keegan Foglesong, Hayden Chambers, Jack Sparrow, Tymber Chambers, Kash, Kason, Memphis, and Legend, 3 brothers; Mike (and Emily) Hollenback and Bill (and Marcia) Hollenback, both of Ipava, Illinois, Blake (and Christy) Hollenback of Adair, Illinois, and 3 sisters; Jane (and Kevin) Cowin of Rushville, Cindy (and Steve) Lewis of Flora, Illinois, and Rebecca (and Donnie) Watson of Table Grove, Illinois.

Deborah was preceded in death by her parents and great-granddaughter, Oaklynn Alice.

She loved Jesus and her grandchildren dearly. Her family was her life and she enjoyed taking care of them. Deborah didn’t mind giving you her opinion, but she loved you regardless. She never left the house until her make-up and jewelry, which she adored, were perfect.

Deborah was a very talented crafter. She worked for Blessings Primitives in Canton, Illinois. She formerly worked as a Phlebotomist at Coleman Clinic in Canton and as a CNA at Astoria Gardens in Astoria.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, January 21st from 5-7 pm at Shawgo Memorial Home in Astoria. Social distancing and masks are required. A memorial service will be held at 7:00 pm following the visitation. Pastor Darrin Fish will officiate. Interment will be private in the Table Grove Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Pregnancy Resource Center in Rushville, Illinois.

So sorry for your loss to the Hollenback family and her children. Debbie and I went all the way through school together. She was a Beautiful person inside and out! I only got to see her one time since we graduated in 1979 and that was about 3-4 years ago at the spoon river scenic drive. We really didn't want to say goodbye to each other but became friends on Facebook. She will definitely be missed by many. Heaven has definitely gained a Beautiful angel. Fly high and rest easy Debbie. Brenda Kidd Crain

My dear friend.... known each other since we were young. More like sisters. We would arrive at the same conclusions but take totally different paths getting there. We would laugh at ourselves and each other in the process. She asked me to pick up 15 metal trash cans recently for craft projects. When I called her to tell her how many I got, I decided to tease her. When she asked how many,,,I told her 50. Her reaction was priceless. We got to spend time together last week, so thankful for that opportunity. Life changes so quickly. Don’t take any moment for granted. Fly high Debbie. We’ll visit again. Until then,,,you will be greatly missed by all who were fortunate enough to know you. 💔🕊

It has taken me days to come to the reality of this tragic event. I met Debbie when I was 6 years old. I’ve lived my life as friends with Debbie and have known the rest of the fast for decades also. My parents were her second parents and loved her very much as she did them. To Amber and Rachel, your Mom was so proud of you and the grandkids. To Robbie and the brothers and sisters, you were so loved too by Debbie. To the nieces and nephews, she loved all of you very much. The comfort is to know she is with her Mom which she missed beyond measure. I’m so thankful we were friends for so so many years and through life’s struggles. I will miss my friend for the rest of my life! Brenda Hopping Hamby
