Debra Lee Barone, 16, of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, a Unionville High School student, died on Sunday, April 24, 1988, at Christiana Hospital in Newark, Delaware, after being injured in an automobile accident early the previous morning.
Miss Barone, who lived in Kennett Square, was on her way home from Unionville High School's prom, which was held at the University of Delaware in Newark DE.
She was a passenger in a car driven by Thomas J. Stango, 16, of Chadds Ford PA, who made a wrong turn onto Kirkwood Highway, east of Newark, and whose car was struck broadside by a car driven by Mark Wright, 17, of Wilmington DE.
Both Stango and Wright were treated and released from Christiana Hospital.
Born in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Miss Barone was a junior at Unionville High School, having transferred this year from Crystal Lake, Illinois. She was a member of the school's chorus and drama club and was a chorus member of the school's recent production of Mame. She also played the French horn and saxophone in the band and was a member of Students Against Driving Drunk. "She was a very caring person, the kind of youngster that others could talk over their problems with," said school principal John Maher, who noted that Miss Barone was an above-average student.
Miss Barone was survived by her parents, Michael P. and Marianne Jazina Barone; a brother, Michael C. Barone; a sister, Cheryl Ann Barone; her paternal grandparents, Michael and Ann Barone; and her maternal grandparents, Charles and Mary Jazina.
