Debbie Lumley Obituary
Debbie Ann Lumley was born in Springfield, Missouri on October 1, 1972 to mother, Jeannie Louella Tannehill and father, James Edward Lumley. She lived most of her life in Missouri with the exception of living with her sister Tammy Putnam. The two lived together most of their lives together.
Debbie loved her KC Chiefs. She knew everything there was to know about the team and their families. She knew everything there was to about Kelce and Mahomes and their families. Debbie loved her Nascar. You could count on her to be home on the couch watching the car # 24 Jeff Gordon's old car. He retired and it wasn't as much fun for her but she was a real die hard fan. Debbie also loved butterflies and sunsets. If there was a butterfly or a sunset she was at peace watching them.
Debbie was the best sister anyone could have ever asked for and she will be missed dearly forever and she will never be forgotten. She left our lives to early and I love you always sis through eternity.
