Deirdre "Debby" (Bessler) Cugliotta

Deirdre “Debby” Cugliotta, age 78, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, December 30, 2025. A lifelong resident of New Jersey, Debby built a life rooted in faith, hard work, and an unwavering devotion to those she loved—both human and animal.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Philip Cugliotta, and her cherished granddaughter, Sabrina Caraway. She is survived by her daughters, Susan L Caraway, and Deirdre L. Arnold; her granddaughters, Caitlin L. Arnold and her great-grandson, Jaiden Arnold, and her great-granddaughter, Deirdre Caraway, who brought her great joy.

Debby was widely known throughout the area for her deep passion for horses. She owned and operated a thriving farm where she lovingly cared for her animals and trained riders of all ages and experience levels. Her horses were not just livestock—they were family. She dedicated her life to their care with tireless commitment and unmistakable pride.

A woman of strong Christian faith, Debby lived her life grounded in her belief in Christ. Her faith guided her actions, strengthened her resolve, and shaped the way she loved and served others.

Debby was strong, resilient, and fiercely loyal to her family and friends. She was known for her honesty and directness—she did not mince words and never shied away from defending her beliefs or ideals. Her strength of character, authenticity, and steadfast loyalty left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.

She will be remembered for her courage, her devotion, and the legacy of love and discipline she passed on through generations—both in her family and in the riders she trained. Her presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit lives on in the lives she touched and the values she stood for.

A graveside service for Debby will be held 11amThursday, January 8th in Lakeview Memorial Park, Rt. 130 North Cinnaminson.
