Obituary

Deborah Jo Faner, 62, of Shawnee, Kansas, passed away on Tuesday, January 22, 2019 in Lincoln.

Deb was born on October 16, 1956 in Peoria, daughter of Leonard and Alta (Schertz) Faner.

Surviving Deb are her parents: Leonard Faner of Peoria and Alta Gehrke of Lincoln, IL; her life long friend: Cathy Campbell, her sisters: Kathy Moorhead and her son Andrew Moorhead, twin sister: Diane Faner, and Amy Butler; her step brothers and sisters: Marilyn (Karl) Turner, Marj Medina, Linda (Brad) Helgeson, Brenda (Greg) Roosevelt, David Gehrke, John Gehrke, and Diane (Larry) Cook.

Deb’s daily reading of the Holy Scriptures and her time working with the Overland Park, KS, Bible Study Fellowship group evidenced her desire to grow in Christ. Thank God she will finally get every one of her questions answered!

She loved to travel to week-long acoustic music festivals, all night camp outs and even cross country drives for celestial events. She could tell you which planet was visible in the sky, call out many stars by name and point out a new conjunction. Deb especially loved long motorcycle trips - the longer the better!



 

Deb was passionate about finding ways to make her family’s lives better. Her nephew summed it up beautifully for all of us by saying she was the most selfless person he ever met.

A memorial gathering will be held to celebrate Deb’s life at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store in Lincoln, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, February 2, 2019.

Family and friends, we have been feeling your out pouring of love. Thank you!! If so inclined to send something, send prayers for comfort and strength. Spring will be here soon. If inclined to send flowers, maybe in lieu of, send flower or vegetable seeds or a plant bulb. 25 Rigg Drive, Lincoln, IL 62656. Or maybe best of all, plant something and send us a text, photo or card about the corresponding patch of land or home.

Diane Faner (Deb always said her better half) has a Face book page (or Cathy-garden5408@yahoo.com) and would be happy to hear your stories and she’ll attempt to send you all photos or texts about the plantings. This is new to us. Most of our experiences going forward will be new to us - - Deb was our leaning post.
