Debbie Sue Hendrix, age 58, of Shelbyville, passed from this life on Friday, July 12, 2024, at her home.
Originally from Baltimore, Maryland, Debbie was born on August 6, 1965, to Geraldine Pierce Hampton and the late Frank Hendrix.
Debbie’s memory will be one of true devotion, as she made sure everyone knew about her three biggest loves: her family, the San Francisco 49ers, and country music. She devoted the majority of her time to her family and close friends, forming a special bond with each of them. Her grandchildren held a special place in her life as their relationships brought her tremendous joy, love, and laughter.
On Sundays during football season, she could be found cheering for her favorite team and in the off-season always representing them with her favorite 49er’s jersey. Her love of music took her to many places through the years as she shared her passion for live music and a good concert with those she loved. Always up for a good road trip, she enjoyed traveling and spending time with her siblings and cousins as they reminisced about their childhood together.
She leaves behind a wonderful man who loved her with everything he had and the legacy of a family to whom she gave selflessly and unconditionally.
She is survived by her loving partner, George Driver; three children, Sarah Grijalva, Michael (Rachel) Grijalva, II, and Kristin Grijalva; siblings, Ricky Jones, Cindy Majors, Dwayne Columbia, Marci Cook, and Jonathon Jones; 10 grandchildren whom she loved more than anything, Hailey (Zach) Rollins, Allie Burke, Oren, Elan, Coen, and Reagan Grijalva, Makeena Farrar, Miles, and Daylynn Johnson, and Inzley Grijalva. She is also survived by wonderful cousins who were more like siblings, Pam Carter, Sharon Watson, and Robbie Hendrix.
