She was preceded in death by her: ● Father, Warren Edward (Pops) Hamilton who passed away on September 7, 2025 ● Nephew, Tony Greitman who passed away on May 30, 2026 ● Brother-in-Law, Todd Bright who passed away on June 19, 2020 ● Mother-in-Law, Leona Stivers who passed away on May 26, 2006 ● Grandmother, Rose Woodrum who passed away in June of 1988 Above all, Deb will be remembered for the way she loved people. Kindness wasn't something she did—it was simply who she was. She never met a stranger, and no one ever stayed a stranger for long. Whether you knew her for fifty years or five minutes, she had a remarkable gift for making you feel like you mattered. As her daughter, I often joked that I had to share my mom with everyone because everyone claimed she was their best friend. The truth is, they were all right. Deb had a heart big enough to make every person she met feel like family. She remembered your name, your story, your favorite things, and somehow always knew exactly what would make you smile. She celebrated your victories, carried your burdens, and showed up whenever you needed her. Family was the center of her world. She treasured every gathering, every holiday, every race weekend, every porch conversation, and every chance to bring the people she loved together. She never arrived empty-handed, rarely left a store without buying a thoughtful gift for someone else, and found her greatest joy in making others happy. Giving wasn't something she thought about—it was simply the way she loved. Even during her battle with cancer, Deb chose joy. She smiled through chemotherapy, looked forward to visiting with her nurses, enjoyed a good cheeseburger while receiving chemo, and never stopped thinking about the people around her. Her courage was quiet, her faith was steady, and her love never wavered. Deb may have been tiny in stature, but she was mighty in every way that mattered. She leaves behind not only a grieving family, but an entire community of people whose lives are better because they knew her. Her legacy is not measured by the years she lived, but by the countless hearts she changed. She was deeply loved, she loved deeply, and she will be missed beyond words. ]]> Janet Polley Janet Polley Janet Fri, 19 Aug 1966 Tue, 18 Aug 2026 Tue, 30 Nov -0001 https://www.centralcremationcenter.com/search-obituaries-central-cremation-center-decatur-il/janet-polley/1885/ Tue, 25 Aug 2026 16:58:08 https://www.centralcremationcenter.com/search-obituaries-central-cremation-center-decatur-il/janet-polley/1885/ Continue reading →]]>
