Deborah J. "Debbie" Pennington, 71, of Akron, passed away on June 5, 2024. She was born on December 1, 1952 to the late Thomas Graham and Shirley {Marone} Jolliffe.
In addition to her parents, Debbie was preceded in death by her husband of 23 years Les Hollingsworth.

Debbie was a loving wife and mother, but her favorite title was Mimi. She loved the beach, sitting on her porch watching the activity on Portage Lakes, and an ice cold Pepsi. Debbie was an animal lover, and her pets Harley, Samantha, Peanut and Shelby brought her much joy.
Per Debbie's wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private celebration will be held for her family. Donations in Debbie's name may be made to:
