Deborah (Debbie) Allen

Deborah (Debbie) Allen passed away Nov. 9, 2024 in Hillsboro, surrounded by her loving husband and children.

She was born Aug. 3, 1958 to Norman Young and Bonita Young (Jones).

Known for her love and light, she was always a gift giver. No matter how small the thrift store find or how grand the handcrafted gift, she was a giver. She made sure she knew what interests her loved ones had and presented them with treasures accordingly. She was so many things to all of them — confidant, a best friend, a secret-keeping vault, a mischief maker, a big heart, a talented quilt maker, a crafting queen, a loving wife, a devoted mother, a treasure to them all.

She was blessed with a slew of siblings, Douglas Young (Carla), Linda Kay Evans (Robert), Greg Young and Lisa Young (Chris).

She married the love of her life, Gerald Allen, on Nov. 6, 1976. Together, they had three children who adore them both to no end, Nathaniel Allen (Kerry), Jessica Riley (Roy) and Amanda Johnson (Michael), and one chosen son Robert Hicks (Ari). She was a mother to countless souls who had the opportunity to meet her. She took everyone under her wing, and made sure they knew they were loved.

Her legacy of love, humor and kindness will be carried on through her seven grandchildren, Allen Riley, Victoria Riley, Amelia Allen, Emery Johnson, Emmett Johnson, Evelyn Allen and Oliver Allen.

She will be reuniting in Heaven with her father, Norman Young; her father-in-law, Russel Allen; her infant sister, Charlotte Rose; her beloved sister, Lisa Young; and her best friend, Delane Campbell.
