Deborah Yvonne “Bee” (Green) Hendricks, age 67, died Saturday, October 24th, 2020 in a car accident near her home in Effingham, IL. She was born on April 1st,1953 to Betty Lee Cronk (Green), (Clark) and William Green. She was the second eldest of five children. She had one son, Nathanial Green. Bee tried marriage several times but the one that stayed was with Sherwin Hendricks. They had just celebrated their 23rd anniversary in July. Bee was a happy unpredictable person who lived life on her own terms. She had a big personality and loved with all her heart. She was not content to stay on the sidelines. She jumped in with both feet to any action that appealed to her. We are sure that she gave her mother most of her grey hair. Bee adapted easily to situations and people. She loved to dance and sing and be in the spotlight. She had lived in San Diego, Las Vegas, Colorado, Missouri, and Illinois. She never failed to make friends everywhere she went. Bee loved adventure and was the ‘cool’ sister. She snuck us into the Drive-in. Taught us how to drive, cook and even bleed a clutch. Bee always had a story to tell about her adventures. Her favorite job over the years was as a Kitchen Manager of a Juvenile Detention center in Colorado but she also knew how to work on cars, bartend and knew how to work in construction. She loved fiercely and would always have time for you. She would help people any way she could and never was cynical no matter how many times people may have let her down. Bee loved animals and had a pit bull and several cats. Bee is survived by her son, Nathanial Green, her sisters, Katherine Warner, Annette Barnes, her brother, Daniel Clark. Her grandchildren Xander, Willow, Magnolia and her nieces and nephews; Zach Barnes, Brendan Warner, Becky Welch, Karen Czigan and Kristina Hillyard and her spouse, Sherwin. Bee will be cremated, and a private service will be had with family at Alternative Funeral Services. She went to join her mother, Betty Clark who sadly passed away in April. Bee was a very special person with a huge personality who will be greatly missed by those who were lucky to have known and loved her.
