Deborah "Debbie" Ehnstrom

Debbie was born on June 13, 1957, and was a beloved wife, devoted mother, and cherished grammy. Her family was the most important part of her life, and she will be remembered as a warm, caring, and deeply devoted mother whose love knew no bounds.

Debbie and her husband, Carl “Bob” Ehnstrom, were longtime residents of Waretown, New Jersey, where they raised their family before later moving to the Lake Ridge community. She spent many years working as a beautician. In her free time, Debbie enjoyed thrift stores and flea markets and took great pride in her many collectibles. A giving and generous spirit, she donated and volunteered for over 10 years at St. Pius Church in Lacey Township, where she worked in the thrift store; she found great joy in contributing to the community. She was also a loyal fan of the New York Yankees and New York Giants.

Debbie was predeceased in death by her father, Walter Behrens and her mother, Florence Behrens as well as her brother Walter Behrens Jr.

Debbie is survived by her beloved husband of 44 years, Carl “Bob” Ehnstrom; her sons, Daniel (Nicole) and Bryan (Rebecca); her adored grandchildren, Jackson, Sophia, Isabella, Austin, and Hunter; her siblings, John (Elizabeth) and Florence; and her sister-in-law, Linda along with several nieces and nephews and extended family and friends.
