ABERDEEN – A fundraiser was started for the families of three women who were killed in a serious crash on the Garden State Parkway last week.
On July 12, authorities released the identities of the three woman who were killed in the crash: Detriona Young, 26, and Janiyah Rudolph, 24, both of Asbury Park, and Ajene Brodie, 25, of Shrewsbury.
A couple days later, a GoFundMe was created to help with any financial burdens the families have to face after losing their loved ones.
“The community is saddened by the loss of these three beautiful ladies barely completing the first quarter of their lives,” Jolanda Morgan, the creator of the GoFundMe, said.
Detriona Young was a high school graduate of Charter Academy in Lake Cuomo. She also studied at Bloomfield College and just a few credits away of obtaining her BA Degree. Detriona lost the father of her baby girl in her 8th month of pregnancy.
“Detriona’s daughter is now nine months and left to this world without both her mother and father. She also leaves behind her mother Detriece Young, a brother, grandparents, colleagues, staff and a host of family and friends,” Morgan said.
Janiyah Rudolph was a former high school graduate of Charter Academy in Lake Cuomo. She worked as a Pharmacy Tech at CVS, and is leaving behind her son “Jax.” Janiya also leaves behind her mother Deniece Dunbar, her sisters and brothers, colleagues and many family members and friends.
Ajene Brodie was a former high school graduate of Charter Academy in Lake Cuomo. Ajene previously studied at Bloomfield College. She worked as a Direct Support Professional at Allies.
“A very loving and outgoing young lady who worked with women with disabilities and was in the process of working on her nursing career this coming fall. Ajene still had a lot she wanted to accomplish from life,” Morgan said.
She leaves behind her mother, Tracy Dunbar; her dad, Robert Bryan Brodie, brothers, a sister, God children, her grandmother “Betty” who she loved helping and providing care for her.
“These beautiful young ladies had a lot in common. They schooled together in somewhat capacity and they rolled together; two of them were cousins and all three of them were Sisters to Heart. They were indeed friends to the end,” Morgan said.
