Debreon "Deb" L. Hendrickson

Debreon Lee Paulson - Hendrickson was born on July 15, 1949 in California. She left California and moved to Colorado in the early 1970’s. If you wanted to be on friendly terms, you would address her as "Deb”! Deb was a terrific Mom who poured her life into her children Robin Dian, Jill Marie and Jeffrey Kenneth. Then in 1983 Deb married Steve Hendrickson, who also had two children, Jenny Marie and Jill Lorraine. In 1984, Deb and Steve were blessed with a daughter, Katie Lynn. Their blended family took a lot of work. But God was honored as they learned how to love each other! Deb’s love for surfing in the ocean quickly faded as she fell in love with the mountains. Hiking throughout the Rocky Mountains brought her joy upon joy. She made many friend on these mountains as they climbed to new heights together. But Deb would tell you that the highest point of her life was meeting and accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. God wasn’t just a part of her life - He was her life! Deb and her family were very involved at Dayspring Christian School. Deb was gifted in the area of teaching small children. She worked for many years as a para pro-fessional in many different elementary classrooms. She also taught Sunday School classes to young children over several decades. She was sometimes suspect of "adults” but she loved and adored children. Deb was at the height of her glory when she had grandkids crawling all over her. Every house she lived in had a toy room dedicated to her "kids” Deb was diagnosed with Stage IV Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma in July of 2015. Deb endured an 8+ hour surgery on her birthday. After 30 days in the hospital, she had chemo-therapy until Thanksgiving. In early 2016 the cancer returned with a vengeance and ended Deb’s life on March 22, 2016. The impact Deb had on so many lives was amazing. Never a point-person, just a person who loved on people with clean hands and a pure heart. She will be dearly missed! A celebration of Deb’s life will be held on April 7, 2016 at 1:30 pm at Greeley Wesleyan Church, 3600 West 22nd Street, Greeley, CO 80634. Memorial gifts may be made in Deb’s name to the "Debreon L. Hendrickson Memorial Fund” at any Wells Fargo Bank location or tax deductible donations may be made to "Front Range Chris-tian Church” in care of Adamson Funeral & Cremation Services, 2000 47th Avenue, Greeley, CO 80634.
