Deborah J Freeman

December 1, 1952 - February 4, 2019

Deborah Joyce Freeman (nee Deborah Joyce Rugg), 66, passed away on February 4th. Deborah, commonly known as Debbie or by her nickname Boots, is survived by her husband, William Freeman, her son, Richard Charles Barr, and three sisters. They are Linda Shermond, Lori Sohn-Caprio, and Sandra Lamborn. She was a devoted member at Brighton Avenue Bible Chapel in East Orange, NJ, where she pioneered her family into the knowledge, faith and salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Debbie was an exceptional Administrative Assistant for a Jewish Synagogue for several years, where she had the Synagogue running impeccably. She created and organized their filing system to perfection and prepared their well written and interesting monthly newsletter, as well as organized all their various religious celebrations. She also worked as a typesetter for a book publishing company called Paragraphics in Bloomfield. She was an excellent secretary typing 100 words per minute with great accuracy and knew her typesetting machine as if she invented it herself. She visually recognized what every hole punched on a tape meant in its English language translation. Debbie was extremely passionate about making a positive difference in society. She would spend numerous hours researching and writing published articles and preparing petitions directed at political figures to improve the regulatory system in the automobile insurance industry. Debbie loved her many hobbies such as dancing and singing, playing bingo, interior decorating, crocheting perfectly to scale, cake decorating and playing board games. Debbie was a beautiful person inside and out. She would remain fairly quiet with her dimples illuminating a breathtaking adorable smile, but if you crossed the line she would not hesitate to meet fire with fire as she had no false pretenses. She was intelligent, meticulous, creative and fun loving. Her loved ones now find peace in knowing that her once weary Boots are now walking the street of gold in heaven! We love you Debbie and we will miss you very much!
