Deborah Lee Mattingly

Deborah Lee Mattingly, a cherished spirit and beloved matriarch, passed away on December 19, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, creativity, and warmth. Born on December 30, 1977, Deborah was a shining light in the lives of all who knew her.

Throughout her life, Deborah exemplified what it meant to truly care for others. She built a successful career as a Logistics Manager at Lastique International, where her colleagues became like family to her. Her commitment and passion for her work were evident, but her heart was undeniably anchored in her family. She proudly earned her Bachelor's degree in Logistics from Sullivan College, which laid the foundation for her career and was a testament to her dedication.

Deborah was a free spirit, ever creative and full of life. She found joy in a multitude of endeavors, from crocheting to crafting beautiful jewelry. One of her proudest accomplishments was creating a coloring book that found its way into print, a project that reflects both her artistic talent and her expressive nature. She was a collector of trinkets, cherishing each piece as a memory woven into the fabric of her life. Music filled her days, accompanying her in the rhythm of her joyful existence.

At the heart of Deborah's world were her children and her beloved husband Gregory. Watching them grow up was her pride and joy; nothing brought her more happiness than their laughter and milestones. Greg was her soulmate and even in the midst of his passing, her resilience and strength never wavered. Her family was the center of her universe, and she embraced everyone for who they were, spreading love and acceptance in her wake. 

She was preceded in death by her soulmate, Greg Mattingly and her father, Larry Foley.

Deborah leaves to cherish her memories, her children, Cameron Wright, Caila Wright and Daniel Mattingly; mother, Vicky Foley; siblings, Patti (Travis Herl) Clements, Mike Foley, Matt (Kristie) Foley and Kathy (Chris) Brown and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends.
