Debbie Sue Sullivan Wilmoth, age 66, of Wickliffe, passed away on Sunday, April 18, 2021 at Baptist Health Paducah.
Debbie was born in Cairo, Illinois on November 14, 1954 to the late Arthur “Demp” and Bobbie Norment Sullivan. She was a member of Anchor of Hope Church in Wickliffe. Debbie was a faithful servant of God and read her Bible daily. She also had a very playful side. Her family remembers Debbie as being the ultimate prankster who loved to playfully aggravate her family and friends. Outside of her faith, the children in Debbie’s life were her passion. She loved to take care of all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as well as all the children from the neighborhood. Debbie’s house was always filled with joy from all the laughing and playing from the children in her life. She was the most loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and aunt.
Debbie is survived by her husband of 52 years, Leslie “Manzo” Wilmoth, Sr. of Wickliffe; one daughter, Tammy Wilmoth (Dustin) of Wickliffe; two sons, Leslie Earl Wilmoth, Jr. (Darlene) of Wickliffe and Shannon Johnson (Michaela) of Bardwell; one sister, Norma Jean Freeman (Lonnie) of Wickliffe; one brother, Mark Sullivan (Susan) of Calvert City; four grandchildren, Sam Johnson, Katelin Wilmoth, Kourtney Rambo (Jacob) and Nathan Johnson; four great-grandchildren, Noah Rambo, Matthew Rambo, Brooklyn Johnson and Morgan Johnson; and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by one sister, Donna Sullivan; three brothers, Billy, Mike and Gary Sullivan; and her parents.
