Deirdre Lavern Frost

Deirdre Lavern Frost affectionately known as Di-Di  AKA  Dopey        

Deirdre was a vibrant and hardworking woman who left an unforgettable mark on the lives of those who knew her. She was educated in the Passaic School System and also attended Eastern Christian School and Dawn Treader Christian School in Paterson, NJ. Her commitment to learning extended beyond her early education, as she pursued further studies at trade and business schools, earning multiple diplomas.

A dedicated professional, Deirdre was never afraid to put in the work to succeed. She held positions with several rideshare companies, Blue Green TimeShare of Hanover, MD, and Lane Labs of Mahwah, NJ. She had a natural ability to climb the corporate ladder, often starting in entry-level roles and working her way up to management. Her diligence and determination made her an invaluable asset wherever she worked.

Beyond her career, Deirdre was a woman full of life, laughter, and love. Known for her kindness and generosity, she brought joy to every family gathering, always making people smile with her silly sense of humor. She was the life of the party, creating memories that her loved ones will cherish forever. More than anything, she went out of her way to ensure the happiness of those around her.

Though she did not have children of her own, Deirdre took immense pride in being a loving aunt. In her eyes, family extended far and wide, and she poured her heart into the children in her life.

An athletic and energetic spirit, Deirdre played softball for the Passaic High School Indians and had a passion for sports, especially baseball, football, and basketball. She also loved traveling, watching movies, and indulging in her favorite hobbies, arts and crafts, making special holiday baskets, and playing spades.

Music was another love of hers, and she found joy in the voices of Shirley Caesar, Phyllis Hyman, Fantasia Barrino, and Le’Andria Johnson.

Deirdre’s legacy is one of love, laughter, and unwavering dedication. She will be deeply missed but never forgotten. The family would like to thank everyone who has shown their love and support during this most difficult time. May Deirdre rest in eternal peace. While we all loved Deirdre dearly, God loved her best! It's with great confidence that we believe God has granted her eternal rest.
