Deborah Hamblin

Deborah “Debbie” (Crowe) Hamblin passed away peacefully in her home on May 10, 2026, in Quincy, Ohio, at the age of 69. Debbie is survived by her loving husband, Tom Hamblin, whom she married on April 2, 1976; her daughters, Angel (Rich) Gailey of Sidney, Ohio, and Stacy Prouty of Dayton, Ohio; and her grandson, Nathan Gailey of Columbus, Ohio. She is preceded in death by her parents, Tom and Geri Crowe of Greenville, Ohio; Teresa Ruby of Wayne Lakes, Ohio; and three angel grandbabies from Angel Gailey.

Debbie was born on January 8, 1957, in Connersville, Indiana. She graduated from Fort Loramie High School in 1975. Debbie and Tom were introduced by Tom’s mother, Marcella Hamblin, with whom she worked at Fair Haven Shelby County Home. They got married on April 2, 1976, and were married for 50 wonderful years.

Debbie was an active and dedicated member of the First United Baptist Church in Sidney, Ohio. She worked in long-term care, factories, and a few retail companies such as Walmart and Lowe’s. Debbie was very proud of her husband, Tom, for changing his life to serve God by becoming a pastor; her children; and especially her grandson, Nathan, for receiving a full-ride scholarship to OSU, where he will graduate this winter with a degree in Mechanical Engineering.

The family would like to thank everyone for their continued prayers and support throughout this long journey and hopes that you continue to support Tom during this difficult time.
