Deborah Hric age 59 of Towaco passed away peacefully on June 18, 2018 in the presence of and while receiving the loving care of her family.
Deborah was born and raised in Passaic and lived in Clifton for a short period of time until moving to Towaco with her family forty-five years ago.
Deborah was one of five children to MaryAnn and John Hric. She graduated from Montville High School with the class of 1976, and graduated one year early having doubled up on some classes. Immediately after high school graduation she attended King’s College in New York for two years. Deborah then transferred to Bryan College in Dayton, TN, where she continued to study for another two years. Eventually she made her way back to New Jersey where she attended William Paterson College and earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education. Following her college graduation, Deborah earned a position as an elementary school teacher at Gateway Christian School in Hackensack where she worked for about two years. Deborah was then hired by the Paterson Board of Education again as an elementary school teacher in School #5. She worked there for many years until her retirement in 2016.
Deborah had a special place in her heart for animals, particularly Giraffes. She enjoyed traveling and made some very memorable trips to places such as Africa and Israel. She also enjoyed traveling with the teachers that she worked with to places like Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Deborah was a veracious reader, while other kids wanted to go out and play, Debbie, as a young girl, would sign up for book challenges at the local library. Debbie was a kind-hearted, giving and forgiving person. She was dedicated to her profession and to her Christian Faith. Although Debbie did not have children of her own, she was like a second mom to her nieces and nephews. She always planned the family gatherings, events and holidays, she was the “spice” in everything that the family did. Not only was she a second mom to her nieces and nephews, but to all of the children that she had the pleasure of teaching throughout the years. Debbie touched the lives of many people and countless children and will be greatly missed by everyone that knew her.
Deborah is survived by her parents; John and MaryAnn Hric of Towaco, three brothers; Jonathan Hric and his wife Caren of Washington Twp, David Hric and his wife Cheri of Lake Hiawatha, and Daniel Hric and his wife Jeannine of Newfoundland, one sister Becky Hric Holschuh and her husband Paul of Oak Ridge, and seven nieces and nephews; Jonathan Jr, Jesse, Victoria, Joshua, Matthew, Samantha, and Davey.
