Greensboro, Georgia - Debbie McKelvey Henry passed from this life into the presence of her Lord on Monday, July 11 at St. Mary's Hospital in Greensboro, Georgia. Born June 21, 1953 in Jackson, Mississippi, she grew up in Macon, Georgia, where she graduated from Miller High School. A 1975 graduate of the University of Georgia, with a degree in Social Services, Debbie was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. She spent most of her career in the hospitality industry in Catering and Convention Services in the Atlanta area. In 1989, Debbie formed her own business, Meetings That Move, providing ground transportation services for corporate meetings and events. On November 21, 1990, Debbie married the love of her life, Max, always "boyfriend." An avid and most loyal Georgia Bulldogs fan, Debbie never missed a football game, and spent seven months of the year looking forward to football season. Her favorite sweatshirt says "Game on. Can't Talk." She loved snow skiing, boating, and porch sitting with whoever happened to drop by. Debbie's presence filled whatever space she occupied, her huge smile was infectious, and warmed the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Strangers were never strangers long.
Debbie is preceded in death by her parents, Harold (HP) and Anne McKelvey. She is survived by her husband Max and son Sam, of Greensboro, stepdaughter Allison (Brandon) Wilson of Ball Ground, two grandchildren, Paul and John Wilson, her sister Patty McKelvey Davis of Macon, and nephew Christian Davis of Ft. Myers, Florida.
