Deborah Lynn Shannon

Deborah Lynn Shannon, a devoted wife, loving mother, and cherished grandmother, passed away on Sunday, May 11, 2025, at her home in New Johnsonville, TN, at the age of 66. Born on December 29, 1958, in Milan, TN, to Everett and Mollie Spain Williams, Deborah’s life was a testament to hard work, love, and joy.

From her unwavering dedication to her family, to her vibrant spirit that brightened every room, Deborah's personality shone through in all she did. She was the best wife anyone could have asked for, standing steadfastly by her husband through life's ups and downs. Her children were her pride and joy, and she loved each of them with all of her heart. As a Nana, Deborah’s heart swelled with love for her grandbabies, who brought her boundless happiness and was the center of her universe.

Beyond her family life, Deborah had a zest for living that set her apart. She loved to take vacations and embark on cruises, relishing the adventure of exploring new horizons. Her laughter filled the air during karaoke nights and dances, where she showcased her joyful spirit and passion for life. Eating was another enjoyment, a simple pleasure she appreciated heartily. And her fondness for her dog, Ivy, was evident; she found great companionship and happiness in their bond.

Deborah's life was a testament to her unwavering faith and deep love for the Lord. Her spirituality radiated through her interactions, inspiring those around her to embrace kindness and compassion. A warm smile and a heart full of love were her trademarks, forever etched in the memories of her family and friends. Deborah will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
