Memorial Service Expenses

Deborah Gustafson, Debbie, Deb…

In a very devastating tragedy, Debbie was taken from us in a car accident on Sunday, June 26th around 11pm, less than a 1/2 mile from her work after a shift. Debbie was a CNA for Azria Health Montclair for years, and was extremely passionate and compassionate towards her residents. She had a passion for helping people and wanted to go into the mental health field in a future career. Debbie had a spirit and brightness to her that could not be matched. She was adventurous, spontaneous, kind, loyal, attentive to others, hard-working and very genuine. She was loved by so many people, including her girlfriend Kass, and a big family including her mother, sister, and dad whom she is leaving behind. If there is one way to describe Debbie, she was one of a kind. Her heart was so big and she would go out of her way and do anything for anybody. Her loss is painful, as she was only 26 years old. She had goals and passions and people she wanted to live a long life with and expressed her love for her girlfriend and loved ones constantly.

We are asking for donations to put towards a memorial service for Deb. She would not want a traditional funeral, and we know she would want us to celebrate the beautiful, yet short life she lived to the fullest. The money will go towards the service and whatever is left will go to family to help them with any other expenses they may need to handle.

Details of her memorial service will follow shortly.

We know you’re resting peacefully and serenely Debbie: you deserved the world and then some.

You are and always will be loved, and never forgotten.
