Deborah Jayne Priestner (nee Day) of Riverdale, passed peacefully on April 21, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family, after a brief illness. Debbie lived her life influenced by the pillars of the Christian faith, believing that helping others, tithing and valuing each and every individual for who they are, builds a foundation of strength on which life can be built and lived. She was a member of the First Reformed Church of Pompton Plains where she enjoyed giving of her time and was supported by a wonderful extended family of hope and faith. Debbie would tell you that her greatest accomplishment was her family. There was nothing more in the world that Debbie loved more than her family, with her children and grandchildren being what she cherished most, above all else.

Debbie was predeceased by her husband, James Priestner, mother, Jayne Schneider, sister Marilyn Winfield and brother JR Schneider. Debbie is survived by her children, Carly Johnson (Chris) and Matthew Priestner (Lisa), her grandchildren Caleigh, Brianna, Emma and Cole, her brother Tom Schneider (Mary) and nieces Brittany Schneider and Janelle Firavanti (Frank) as well as one great-nephew Tommy.
