Deborah Weiss Obituary
WEISS, DEBORAH ANN - December 31, 1968 Homecoming October 1, 2008 My wife, my Soul Mate, my Princess, received her call to be with Jesus on October 1st, 2008. My Princess was surrounded by family during her last moments as she embraced the Lord. My Princess was born in Burlington, Vermont, the daughter of Tommy and Barbara Beaittie. My Princess eventually moved to Somers Point, New Jersey where she grew up into an amazing woman. At an early age, my princess dedicated her life to helping others. At the age of 12, she became the leader of a Church based Youth Puppet Ministry. At the age of 14, she became a member of the Somers Point Volunteer Rescue Squad. Debbie's friends and family were not the only ones that recognized her contributions to the community. In 1987, my Princess was awarded the US Senate, Bill Bradley Young Citizens Award. Debbie received so much fulfillment from aiding those in need, that she became a full time, career Paramedic. It was my princesses' love of helping others that brought us together. We worked together in Atlantic City on the night of August 19th, 1994 and immediately fell in love. My Princess and I were joined together in marriage on November 7th, 1997. My Princess eventually retired from Paramedicine when she answered her true calling to motherhood, giving us 2 beautiful children. Debbie was a devoted mother and wife. Her devotion and courage never wavered as she valiantly waged a 2 year battle against the Colon Cancer that eventually consumed her. My Princess is preceded by her father Tommy Beaittie and is survived by myself, her husband Adam Weiss; daughter Delaney Weiss, 3; son Mason Weiss, 7; mother Barbara Appleby; Step-Father Thomas Appleby; sister Janet Morfitt and her husband Roger, niece Hannah, Nephews Grant and Danny plus many aunts, uncles and cousins. A Celebration of Debbie's Life was held on October 15th, 2008 in Waldorf, Maryland. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Children of Deborah Weiss at the Bank of America, 20 Central Square, Linwood NJ, 08221.

Dear Adam & Family,
I was shocked and sadded to hear of Debbie's passing, I lived next door to Debbie as a child in Somers Pt and were we best friends for years. I have so many wonderful memories of Debbie. Like when she broke her arm when we were rollerskating, and her Janet and I putting on little plays for Mr & Mrs Perks on the corner of our street. My favorite was when we would play house as kids and Debbie always picked Shaun Cassidy as her husband. Then there was her beloved dog Gypsy she was the best dog and Debbie loved her so. It is true Debbie found her calling to help others early on. I was actually Debbie's first call as a junior rescue squad member, Imagine going next door to your own house to help your best friend who was having an severe asthma attack. Debbie was an amazing woman, I'am glad that she found a wonderful loving man and had a beautiful family she truly deserved the best life could give her. My heart goes out to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Weiss and Beattie Families,
I am sorry to hear about Debbie's passing and your loss. I was Debbie's youth leader at Grace Lutheran Church in Somers Point. I remember her bright face that always had a smile on it and flowing long red hair. Even as a youth she was a very caring and compassionate young lady. Even though your loss is tough now, always remember that you will be reunited with her one day in God's kingdom.

Dear Adam and Family,
I knew Debbie as she was growing up in Somers Point. She was an active member of the youth group at Grace Lutheran Church of which I was also a member, and later an adult leader. Debbie was a very special person. I am so sorry for your loss.

I am sorry I did not keep in touch with her, I have such wonderful memories of Debbie. That obituary told me Debbie was truly blessed and for that I can smile, knowing she had a very loving family.

I do not know Mrs. Weiss but her obituary was very moving and the beautiful nature in which you honored your Princess was absolutely heartfelt. It seems you gave her roses while she lived and that is something that will always be with you. May God bless you, your children, your family because God has truly blessed "Your Princess".

Death can not take away our wonderful memories. One of our favorite memories is watching Debbie play with Mason, Delaney, Grant and Hannah. What a beautiful Woman! The sun shinning off her beautiful red hair was dazzling. - And so it is that life must go on, but we have only to close our eyes and Debbie is there to live on in our hearts and minds.
Debbie fought the good fight and God has now welcomed home his faithful servant.
God Bless and Keep you and give you peace.

Dear Adam and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Debbie was such a great person. We knew each other from school in Somers Point and were friends when our parents were on the Somers Point Rescue Squad together. We used to hang out at the squad building and so much fun when we were younger. It is an honor to have known such a wonder person and I know she has blessed so many in her time here on earth. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless all of you.
