We come together today to celebrate the life of Deborah “Debbie” Sigler Sullivan, a cherished mother, sister, Nana, and friend, who passed away on November 30, 2024, at Baptist Health Deaconess of Madisonville. Born on September 19, 1959, in St. Louis, Missouri, Debbie’s gentle spirit and love for life touched everyone she met.
Debbie’s journey began as a beloved daughter in a bustling household with her siblings, sharing countless memories that shaped their close-knit family. She was preceded in death by her father, Arby Sigler, Jr., her mother, Leatrice Keating Harrell, and her twin brothers, Greg and Craig Sigler. She is survived by her loving siblings, Sharon Rampley of Bloomfield, MO, Sherry Mulkey, and Melissa Blythe, both of Evansville, her brothers Jerry Bolden Tucker of Oak Grove, LA, Garry Sigler of Providence, Terry Sigler of Wildwood, FL, and Raymond Sigler of Princeton.
Debbie’s legacy continues through her children, who were the pride and joy of her life. She is lovingly remembered by her daughters, Panda Manners and husband, Shawn, of Evansville, IN, Stephanie Wallace and husband, Dan, of Madisonville, Heather Stoltenburg, Jennifer Mitchell and husband, Sam, of Princeton, and Sarah Riddle and husband, Curtis, of Newburgh, IN, and her sons, Robbie Sullivan and wife, Kristy, of Princeton, and Scott Sullivan of Evansville, IN. Her role as a grandmother was one that she cherished deeply, and she leaves behind a legacy through her grandchildren, Elias, Haley, Cameron, Nevaeh, Savannah, Alex, Brady, Christopher, Zoey, Benjamin, Henry, Felicitie, Ceraphina, and a great-grandchild on the way, as well as several nieces and nephews.
Debbie’s home was a hub of warmth and love, and she had a talent for making every family gathering memorable with her exceptional cooking skills. She had an open-door policy for all children, especially her grandchildren, whom she adored endlessly. Her front porch was a sanctuary where she relished in the simple pleasure of sipping coffee and engaging in heartfelt conversations with friends and family.
As we remember Debbie Sullivan today, we reflect on a life well-lived, filled with love, kindness, and the cherished moments that will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched. Her gentle presence will be profoundly missed, but her spirit will continue to inspire us to embrace the beauty of life’s simple pleasures. Through life’s trials, she continued to praise the Lord and rely on her faith in Jesus.
Today, as we honor the memory of Debbie Sullivan, let us carry forward the light of her spirit, remembering her not just for the life she lived, but for the countless lives she touched with her gentle soul. May we all aspire to live with the same kindness and warmth that Debbie embodied throughout her beautiful life.
