Migdalia “Millie” DeJesus, 64, of Freehold Township passed away on Monday, December 8, 2025, at CentraState Medical Center, Freehold Township. She was born in New York and was raised in the Bronx before moving to Freehold in 1993.

She also found joy in helping her son-in-law's company, Classic Fence & Landscape in Manalapan. Her greatest accomplishments were her grandchildren, who affectionately called her Mama. Her children always looked up to her with pride, and she cherished spending time with her daughter, Jessica.
