Deborah Fenimore Barclay Deborah Fenimore Barclay, 54, passed away peacefully Monday, Nov. 24, 2014, while in the compassionate care of Stuart F. Meyer Hospice House. Debbie was valiantly battling her second round of breast cancer. Debbie was predeceased by her first husband, Richard Fenimore, who passed away unexpectedly in 1995. She is survived by her second husband, Richard Barclay, of St. Augustine, FL. She is also survived by her father Stanley Soderberg (Montrose, PA); daughter Amie Williams (Palm Coast, FL); two sons Ryan Fenimore (St. Augustine, FL) and Daniel Barclay (Palm Coast, FL); granddaughter Emma Williams (Palm Coast, FL); her sister Rebbeca Cole (Montrose, PA); nieces Valerie Cole (Deerfield Beach, FL) and Michelle Washburn (Montrose, PA). She is also survived by countless friends and loved ones from all over the country. Born in Camden, New Jersey, in 1960, Debbie graduated from Moorestown High School and went on to earn a degree in Human Services from Luzerne County Community College in Northeast PA. For many years Debbie worked as an executive assistant in the nursing program at the Elk Lake campus of Luzerne County Community College. She also served as supervisor of a census-taking team in Susquehanna County, PA for the 2010 national census. In the ‘90s, Debbie and her family moved to Florida where she became employed by Bottom Line Yacht Club out of the Conch House marina in St. Augustine, FL and she also worked as an assistant for a CPA. Before relocating back to Florida last year in hopes of starting her own spice business, she was employed by the state’s Dept. of Aging as manager of the Blue Ridge Senior Center in Great Bend, PA. After taking care of her mother, Anita Soderberg, who passed away 3 years prior, Debbie moved back to Florida to be closer to her children and granddaughter. Debbie was one-of-a-kind, and she will be missed dearly by so many. She loved hummingbirds, taking countless photos, nature, living near the beach, and cooking among many other things. She had plans to hike the Appalachian Trail. An informal gathering or “Celebration of Life” will take place come spring in Montrose, PA., among close family and friends. Arrangements are under the care of Heritage Funeral & Cremation Service, Port Orange, FL.
