Debra Sandusky, 69, of Hamilton, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 27, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family, after a brief and courageous battle with cancer.
Born in Trenton, Debra was a lifelong Mercer County resident and a graduate of Hamilton High School West, Class of 1974. She was employed with TAH Industries for many years, where she was known for her dedication and strong work ethic, retiring after a long and faithful career.
Debra found joy in the comfort of home, where she loved to relax, spend time with her beloved dog, CoCo, and keep up with her daily soap operas. She took pride in living a healthy lifestyle and always made it a priority to care for herself and those she loved. A woman who appreciated life’s simple pleasures, Debra’s greatest happiness came from being surrounded by her family.
She was a loving wife, mother, “mommom,” sister, and friend, and will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
Visitation for family and friends will be held on Friday, May 1, 2026 from 1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. at the Buklad-Merlino Memorial Homes, 2141 South Broad Street, Hamilton, NJ.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I’ll always remember when we first met, she had a way of making people feel seen right away, even with a little humor. That stuck with me. She was clearly someone who brought warmth and personality wherever she went. Thinking of you and your family during this time.
My condolences to the family. You will be missed my friend.
Going to miss you forever mommoms and especially all the good times but I promise to keep the mantras and life lessons you have instilled in me so we are connected even if you have passed on to heaven.
I wish we could have play couple more rounds of uno before you left. Those were the fun times.
