Pridgeon, Debra K. 65, on January 11, peacefully passed away at home in her sleep after five years of unbelievable strength repudiating her stage 4 cancer. Deb moved from Minneapolis to South Jersey with her very loving husband James of 26 years. I consider it a privilege and rare opportunity to have as a friend, a companion, a confidant, an audience for my humor and a loving wife who I consider to be the most amazing women I have ever met. Debra is a Gold Star Mother to her only son Jude who at 19 perished in an Army Helicopter crash. Deb has been preceded by her mother, Lillian, her grandmother Ella, grandfather Bill, her sister-in-law Dorothea and brother-in-law George. Debra is survived by her favorite grandson Ernest 15, and his mother Alika 39, our only daughter. She is survived by family in Minnesota, her compassionate care giving sister Sandy who has been by her side the last year, and two other sisters. Deb will be missed but not forgotten. A celebration of her life will be held at a later date. Please honor Debra with donations made in her name to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
