Deb Newbern Johnston

Deb Newbern Johnston of White House, TN and West Newbury, MA passed away Wednesday, January 28, 2026 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, MA surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in Nashville, TN on February 10, 1958, she was the firstborn child to her parents, father Green Lemuel Newbern and mother Launa. She grew up in the Nashville area and was a 1976 graduate of Hendersonville High School. During these times she made the firsts of many lifelong friendships. After graduation, she began her career in Finance working in smaller offices. She took the opportunity to move near the water she loved - into a cottage on Old Hickory Lake with her Aunt Sara and Uncle Harry. While at the cottage, a mutual friend introduced her to Thomas Jones who she married in 1978.

Tom and Deb moved to Madison, TN where they welcomed their firstborn “Number One” son Thomas Jr. in 1981. Next came a move to White House, TN where they welcomed “Number Two” son Devin in 1991. In the early 1980’s she joined J.C. Bradford & Company - Nashville’s premier investment banking and brokerage firm. During her tenure there she rose to Brokerage Settlement Division Manager, managing a team and meeting another core group of folks who she would carry on with her as longtime friends. Tom and Deb amicably divorced in 1997, remaining close to best support their boys.

In early 2000, J.C. Bradford was ironically acquired by Boston based PaineWebber, which by late 2000 was forced to merge with Swiss based UBS. In short fashion, Debbie decided to return to working with smaller family businesses in the Nashville area such as Sumner Crest Winery – where again she met folks she carried forward with her as dear friends. Ultimately, she decided to start her own Property Management/Cleaning Company. During this time, she met Mary Ann Fowler from Massachusetts at her home in Tennessee. Deb became not just the caretaker of the property, but a friend/family member. On Labor Day weekend 2013, she was re-acquainted with a Hendersonville High School ‘76 Classmate, Bobby Johnston. Bobby and Debbie quickly reconnected, they married July 28, 2015, and had 10 plus years of blissful marriage.

Debbie successfully ran her business until 2022, at which time she took up an offer to travel to Massachusetts to work with another family-owned business, the West Newbury Food Mart. It gave her a place to use all her skills that came naturally - finance background, southern hospitality, boundless energy. She also got to know and support the family’s other business, Vermette’s Market. True to her form, she made many friends within the team members at each Market, as well as many customers, vendors and folks she met. Most exceptionally, she quickly became a key trusted business associate and dearest friend to Elaine Fowler, the owner of the Markets.

To all her Tennessee friends and family it was always known she would someday have a second home near the beach – but none would have imagined (including Debbie herself!) that it would be in the North where snow flies. She found that second home in West Newbury, falling in love with the community and area - and the community embraced her right back. In a town known to be hesitant to call you a local without a generation plus of history – Debbie swiftly made such status.

Debbie’s mottos throughout her whole life were “Peace, Love and Sunshine”. A true “Hippie Chick”, she was happiest when she was able to put a smile on someone's face, lend a helping hand, time spent in the sand. She so greatly enjoyed her plants and gardens; treasured times spent with her sons; shared the love of beaches, music, and football with Bobby and their travels together to enjoy all such. Through the years, through all her experiences - she met so many people she cared for and considered friends. Some became as close as family to her. Her heart was big enough for them all, and she had a way of making all feel special - because to her they all were, are and will always be.

Beloved by family, she was predeceased by her parents Green and Launa Newbern and mother-in-law Eva Jane Johnston and leaves behind her loving family, a son Thomas Jones, Jr. and wife Stacy of East Hartford, CT and their son Anthony Quen of White House, TN, a son Devin Jones of White House, TN; her husband Bobby Johnston of White House, TN and West Newbury, MA; a stepson Robby Johnston, his partner Kesley and their son Beckham of White House, TN; a brother Bill Newbern of Cottontown, TN; a niece Katie Newbern of Terrell, NC and nephew Kyle Newbern of Portland, TN; her ex-Husband Thomas Jones, Sr. and wife Kim of Cottontown, TN and countless friends made across her lifetime… all so dear to her.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Debbie’s memory may be made to the Lt. Ken Fowler Foundation, PO Box 762, West Newbury, MA 01985

Calling hours for Debbie will be held in Massachusetts on Saturday, February 7, 2026 at Paul C. Rogers Family Funeral Home, 2 Hillside Avenue, Amesbury, MA 01913 from 3-5 p.m. immediately followed by a service at 5 p.m.

Roger R. Duford

Roger came home from the Anna Jaques Hospital in a shoebox, 88 years ago on October 12,1937, which was the first Columbus Day holiday ever celebrated! As a child he spoke French fluently.

After graduating from Newburyport High School, he attended the University of New Hampshire. He was a member of the Phi Mu Delta fraternity. His paying job at the fraternity house was ironing the brother’s khakis. The crease was perfection!

Roger majored in Economics, minored in Art History. While at UNH he was elected Mayor of Durham for a day, after he and his team constructed floats and ran a winning campaign, which, at the finale, he came swinging onto a packed auditorium stage, on a rope in a cave man costume.

Roger brought his dog, Buffer, to college with him. Buffer was a very smart dog. He especially loved to ride on the back of Rog’s motorcycle. He was appointed the fraternity mascot. Roger trained him to wait for the first fraternity brother to go out the door in the morning and stay by their side through all of their classes.

Roger attended ROTC while at UNH. He became a 2nd Lieutenant in the Army. His position was artillery, forward observer.

Roger had various careers. He worked at Western Electric, in North Andover, where they made him an official Industrial Engineer. He also worked at Gould/Shawmut as a marketing engineer and was head of manufacturing.

He loved motorcycles. He had a Triumph, a Harley and a BSA Spitfire Scrambler, on which he and Leo Rocco would zoom to work in white shirts with ties blowing in the wind, while Leo held on for dear life, sitting on a single person passenger seat.

Roger’s true love was running. Five K’s and marathons were his thing. He proudly finished the Marine Corp Marathon in Washington DC, after partying away the night before with his brothers, Ron and Jerry.

Roger loved jazz and was a self-taught jazz pianist. He also loved to build and renovate his houses on the river in Amesbury.

Roger was one of the original founders of the Winner’s Circle. Along with his 2 brothers they built a business around the original family house. As the business grew, Roger became an integral part of it. Today, as it stands, the ‘Circle’ is 50+ years old. Roger was also part owner of Salisbury Auto Mall, which he helped construct with his own 2 hands.

He loved the beach, Marco Island, and his many animals from his pet skunk to his pet squirrels to his homing pigeons and a multitude of dogs.

He was a father figure to a few young men...Steve, John, Jeff and Phil. He was a mentor to others...Joe and Steve.

He wasn’t a great golfer but proudly/luckily got a hole in one at the Apple Hill golf course.

Roger built his dream house on Point Shore in Amesbury 17 years ago. He loved the Merrimack River, and this was his perfect retirement home. He had it built expressly as a party house. He and Duffy (whom he met in NYC) had endless cocktail parties, dinner parties, you name it, all with his dear friends who were always there to support him.

Although he had a major stroke 34 years ago, he never let that deter him from what he strived to do. With years of PT, he learned to walk again. Years of Speech Therapy, learned to talk again. And through all of this, his wonderful physician, Dr. Stephen Schissel, cared for him with great compassion, for which we will be forever grateful.

Roger passed away after having a simple, routine procedure at the Anna Jaques Hospital that went wrong. Sadly, he did not survive. He never wanted to be in a nursing home, and we were able to keep him here in his beautiful house near the river.

He leaves behind his wife of 61 years, Duffy; his son, Scot; his son, Shaun and his wife Kimberly; his former daughter-in-law, Tracy Duford; his grandchildren Kylie and her husband Kendrick, Sage, Jeremy, Madison and Peter Roger; his great grandbabies Parker and Summer. He also leaves his brother Ron and wife, Hattie and his brother Jerry and wife, Rudy; and many cousins, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his daughter, Kim.

Roger always said he had a wonderful life, and he certainly did! Rest in peace, Rog...you deserve it.

The Duford family will have a private Graveside Service this coming Spring, where he will be laid to eternal rest beside his daughter, Kim. Arrangements were made by Paul C. Rogers Family Funeral Home, 2 Hillside Avenue, Amesbury, MA 01913.

She was born on November 22, 1947, in Amesbury, MA, to Leonard Ware Johnson and Helen Bailey Johnson.

Jennifer grew up in Amesbury with a deep love for her hometown and the Merrimack River that flows through it. She was especially proud to be a twin, sharing a lifelong bond with her twin brother. A graduate of Amesbury High School, she was a cheerleader who also played field hockey and enjoyed snow skiing. She graduated from Endicott Junior College in 1968 with an Associate’s Degree in Art.

Jennifer had a recognizable laugh that could brighten any room. She found joy in the beauty of snowflakes, the good luck of ladybugs, and celebrating birthdays with enthusiasm. Her love of life’s small pleasures reminded those around her to appreciate the moments that bring happiness.

Kevin T. Morgan

Our world has such a tremendous void today without Kevin T. Morgan. Kevin, 48, of Amesbury, Massachusetts, passed away on Christmas after a courageous 5 year battle with Stage IV kidney cancer.

Kevin was born in July 1977 and raised in Leadville, Colorado. He later attended high school in Elko, Nevada. Upon graduating, he answered the call to serve his country and joined the U.S. Coast Guard, beginning a career defined by dedication, leadership and service to others.

While stationed at his first duty station aboard the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Woodrush in Sitka, Alaska, Kevin met the love of his life, Amelia (Mia) Matteson. Their meeting marked the beginning of a lifelong partnership rooted in love, loyalty and unwavering support. They married in August 2004. Together they built a family, welcoming daughters Avila in 2011 and Cambria in 2013, who were the light of Kevin’s world and his greatest source of pride and joy. He loved watching Cambria play soccer, cheering Avila on as she explored her passion for cooking and baking, and supporting both girls as they competed in dance competitions. Kevin was, in every sense of the phrase, a true “girl dad.”

Kevin proudly served more than 25 years in the U.S. Coast Guard before retiring as a Chief Warrant Officer 4 due to his illness. Kevin’s career as a Boatswain’s Mate took him up and down the California coast from U.S. Coast Guard Station Noyo River, Fort Bragg, CA; U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Aspen, San Francisco, CA; U.S. Coast Guard Station Golden Gate, Sausalito, CA; to U.S. Coast Guard Station Morro Bay, Morro Bay, CA. During that time, Kevin advanced quickly to Senior Chief and took his first Officer-in-Charge position. Demonstrating superior knowledge, judgment, and lifeboat handling in heavy weather and surf, Kevin earned the Coast Guard’s highest small-boat operational qualification, achieving designation as Surfman #360. Upon receiving his promotion to Chief Warrant Officer, he transferred with his family to U.S. Coast Guard District 7’s Enforcement Division, Miami, FL, and District 7 Tactical Law Enforcement Team, Opa Locka, FL, where he served as a leader in a highly trained unit for high-risk maritime law enforcement, counter-drug, and interdiction missions. During this time, he deployed to Greece to support the Hellenic Coast Guard during the Mediterranean mass migration response. Finally, Kevin and his family relocated to the northeast, where he served as Commanding Officer of U.S. Coast Guard Station Gloucester, MA, and finished his career at U.S. Coast Guard Sector Northern New England, South Portland, ME. Throughout his career, Kevin was recognized for exemplary service, receiving the Meritorious Service Medal, multiple Coast Guard Commendation Medals, the Coast Guard Commandant’s Letter of Commendation, and Presidential Unit Citations.

He carried the values of duty, integrity, and commitment into every aspect of his life. Throughout his illness, he faced each day with Herculean strength, determination, and grace willing himself to stay for as long as he could for Mia and his girls, who meant everything to him and remained his greatest source of purpose.

Those who knew Kevin would say there was no one who lived fuller, loved more fiercely, gave more of himself, or made people laugh harder. He was truly one of a kind. Known for his quick wit, keeping it real, and steady presence, he was someone people could always rely on. He loved golf, was a devoted fan of the Miami Dolphins, and found deep satisfaction in his various woodworking projects. He also enjoyed traveling and wished for his daughters to experience the world. They went on as many adventures as possible the last few years building memories to last a lifetime.

Kevin leaves behind a legacy of love, honor, humor and deep devotion to family. He will be missed immeasurably by Mia, Avila and Cambria; his family; and all who had the privilege of knowing him. Though his absence leaves a deep and lasting void, his memory will live on in the many lives he touched.

Kevin wished to be cremated. No services are planned at this time. A GoFundMe has been set up in support of his family.
