Deborah Yvonne Royster, the daughter of Annie Warren Royster and the Late Claude Herman Royster, was born in Rahway, New Jersey on January 29, 1964. Debbie was raised and educated in Linden, New Jersey graduating from Linden High School in 1982. After graduating, she attended and graduated from Robert Walsh Business School in 1984 with an Associate's Degree in Business Administration. She was a member of the Notary Association since 2009. Debbie entered the work world right in her hometown of Linden under the James Watson City Council Administration. Gaining knowledge at various corporations, her work career moved across the water to New York City. Debbie worked for AIG over ten years in lower Manhattan. After 9/11, Debbie returned to work in New Jersey. She was employed at Premier Urology Group in Clark the last three years. To family and friends, Debbie was always happy, cheer you up or make anything lots of fun. She loved to travel, go shopping, and go to concerts and the Jersey Shore. During the summer months, she could be found at the beach basking in the sun. Debbie departed this life suddenly on Wednesday, August 31, 2011 at Robert Wood Hospital in Rahway. She will be missed from within the circle of her family and friends, but God's Will must be done and we have to be submissive. Debbie leaves to mourn her passing, her dear mother, Annie W. Royster; brother, Clifford E. Royster; aunts, Ella Warren and Edith Johnson; uncle, Ollie P. Royster; dear girl friend from childhood, Patty Paycna along with a host of other relatives and friends.
