Deborah Jean Newton

Deborah Jean Newton, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed on December 17, 2024, at the age of 66 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Born on January 12, 1958 to her parents, Albert and Barbara Froehlich, she had fond memories of growing up at their lake house in Howell, MI.
Deborah lived a life of love and service to others. Married to her husband, Clayton, for 42 years, she supported him faithfully throughout his 25 years of military service. Proudly embracing her role as a military spouse, she demonstrated resilience and adaptability as they moved and built their lives together.
A dedicated mother and homemaker, Deborah transformed every house into a loving home filled with joy and laughter. Her nurturing spirit extended beyond her family; always welcoming others into their home and touching the lives of many.
Deborah was a loving grandmother ("Nana"). She loved her five grandchildren immensely: Justin, Morgan, Jameson, Eden, and Josie. She filled their lives with love and precious memories. Deborah loved nothing more than being with family, whether it was in her home, on a trip, or riding on their family boat.
Deborah is survived by her husband, Clayton; her children, Lindsay Anderson (Chad), Emily Gerlach (Bryan), and Matthew Newton (Liz); her six siblings Michelle, Denise (Lance), Cheri (Don), Al (Dawn), Mike (Lark), Laurie (Wayne) who held a special place in her heart; and her adored grandchildren.

Market St., York, PA 17402. The family will receive relatives and friends on Thursday from 1:00PM – 2:00PM prior to the service at the funeral home. A Celebration of Life for family members will follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, an organization that was close to Deborah's heart and reflects her spirit of giving.
