Obituary of Deborah Joy Eike

On Tuesday May 9th, Deborah Joy Eike joined her heavenly family at the age of 29. Deb lived in Bergenfield NJ with her parents Russell Eike and Nancy Sierra and brothers Joshua and Adam until becoming a resident of Matheny in Peapack NJ at age 17. Deb thrived in this caring community enjoying music, art, parties, kayaking and floating in the pool. Deborah’s smile brought joy to her friends and caregivers both at home and at Matheny as well as to her family, including grandparents Dagny & Levin* Eike and Don & Fran* Galvin, aunts Grace Galvin and Marilyn Groop and uncles Joe Buono* and Pete Groop along with many loving cousins.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, May 20 at 11:30 AM at First Congressional United Church of Christ, 276 Haworth Ave., Haworth NJ 07641, with refreshments downstairs in fellowship hall afterwards.
