Deborah Sheldon Obituary
Debora "Debbie" Evelyn Sheldon passed away February 8, 2026, at 70 years old. She was born in Cleveland, TN, December 12, 1953, with her late twin brother.
She was the Blue Streak running through town often saying, "The speed limit was for people that didn't know how to drive." Debora will be remembered for her quick-witted, mostly sarcastic responses that she meant with love. In her quieter moments, she found joy in pro wrestling, a passionate fan of WWE. She never missed a big match. It was one of the simple pleasures that brought her comfort.
Before her battle with cancer, she was a devoted caregiver to many, even raising her grandkids as her own. She was extremely independent and stubborn, but she loved her family and will be missed by many.
She was proceeded in death by her parents Evelyn and Clarence; husband Gilbert; son Stacy and brother Dale.
She survived by her granddaughter DeAsyia; son William; grandsons Malachi and Demarion; daughter Tracy; many friends and family.
2412 Georgetown Rd NW P.O. Box 5057, Cleveland, TN 37311
