Debra L Carroll

Born to the late Raymond and Lillian Carroll on December 28, 1953, Debra dedicated her life to her family and friends. She retired from the Elizabeth Board of Education, where she served as an administrative secretary, touching countless lives with her kindness, diligence, and professionalism.

Debra was the beloved mother of Lauren Gonzalez (husband Carlos), Lindsey Tranquilli (husband Christopher), and Jennifer Casso. She was the proud and devoted grandmother to Ayden, Giavanna, Kyah, Ethan, Chase, and Mason, who were her greatest joys.

She is predeceased by her parents, Raymond and Lillian Carroll, and her brother, Patrick Carroll. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Linda Carroll, as well as her loving niece and nephew, Christina Faas and Sean Carroll.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Cancer Research Institute in Debra’s memory. Contributions can be made online at www.cancerresearch.org.
