Condolence: Sue and Lisa, very sorry to hear about Mom, Hope you are all doing OK. Would like to pay respects if I could. I'm sure I'll run into you guys at some point. The family keeps getting smaller at one end and larger at the other, guess as corny as it sounds it's all the circle of life. It just really hurts sometimes as we all know. My love to guys. Deb.

Condolence: Mr. Ed, Lisa, Susan and families,
Thank you for all the great memories growing up. We will forever cherish the times spent with you in Estell Manor. Although time has passed you are always in our hearts. I will always cherish time spent with Miss Nan. She was always loving and kind to us. She and our mom had some conversations. Now she, our mom and Miss Louise Woodward can continue those conversations in Heaven.
Sending our love, hugs and prayers,
Bradley, Dee Dee and Dina Dean

Condolence: My earliest memories of my Aunt Nan were at the Olde Stagecoach Trail Campground. How many kids can say their Aunt and Uncle owned a campground? She packed the days with fun events that kept campers coming back year after year, and some were year-round residents, because they loved being there. Campfires, hayrides, (complete with Jersey Devil sightings) horseback riding, seafood cookouts, singalongs, luaus poolside (yes, I was dressed up in a grass skirt and danced the hula, and not just because I was an adorable 4-year-old) costume contests … you name it and my Aunt Nan planned it, executed it and made it a hugely memorable success!

I remember going blueberry picking in the woods of Mays Landing at the Campground and Nanny's house. Not only did I get blueberries, but I also got chiggers (not good!) Luckily, Aunt Nan knew just what to do, and in a short time, I was chigger-free once more. She let me pick berries from all over the campground, retrieve eggs from angry geese, throw bread to the ducks on the pond, play with the goat, the dogs, the horses and basically run around like a maniac all over the campground. What a fortunate kid I was, having an indulgent aunt who gave me the freedom to explore, resulting in incredible memories of an amazing childhood!

Aunt Nan used to dress up in costumes and show up in unusual places. I remember a turkey, bear, jersey devil, clown, hobo … I know there were more, but just these few should speak volumes about the fun-loving nature of my aunt! Not many people could dress up in these costumes, leave inhibitions behind and give/feel so much enjoyment!

She played the piano, and even had a portable organ in her motorhome, so she could have her music with her on the trip back and forth between New Jersey and Florida. Her devotion to my Uncle Eddie, and his to her, was immediately evident when you encountered them; you rarely saw one without the other. They had a long, happy marriage, and I’d say their secret was that they truly enjoyed each other’s company.

She was a dynamo of energy, and never seemed to slow down. She was filled with strength, capability, determination, kindness and fun. She touched many people’s lives and her memory will live on through them, because my Aunt Nan was a lady that once met, you could never forget.

Condolence: My sincere sympathy to you and your dear love ones. May you find comfort in these word at John 5:28&29, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment." The comfort Jehovah gives is that those sleeping in God's memory will be awaken here on earth. So the resurrection tells us about Jehovah's love and loving kindness. If you want to learn more, go to jw.org.

Condolence: Nan,we will remember you best for your spirit. The ability to get people to go outside there comfort zone ,for the sake of family fun. You helped create memories my family will always look back on with much fondness. Christmas Eve will not be the same. You were well loved and will be missed.
Love ,
Danielle,Glen Natalie and Nick

Condolence: As a 4 yr old, we moved to Estell Manor, where Nan was our neighbor. She was the sister I never had and we had a great friendship. We sang together trying to harmonize (she sang high and I was low) - sometimes it sounded good. Baking was a favorite task (we were cookie girls). We grew apart as she went off to college and I bumbled along without my friend. We both got married and eventually I moved to Virginia and she moved to Florida. Many miles and years later we reunited and I got to see my friend who had married my brother Eddie (he hates being called that, but he'll always be that to me). Lots of laughs and good times were had with them and my husband - wonderful memories of a time gone by. Our wishes for a happy ever after. May you rest in peace my friend, Nan. Love You

Condolence: Many happy memories riding my cousin Nan's horses in Estell Manor, while visiting Uncle Charlie & Aunt Abby nearby. We Josephsens always go back to our roots in Estell Manor.... Much love to all of Nan's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. May the Lord comfort your hearts in this great loss. Blessings....

Condolence: Dear ones, We are so saddened by the sudden loss of your wife, mom and grandmom. We were excited to get to know everyone with the joining of our families. We hope you'll share memories of your sweet Nan with us, so we can know her too.

Condolence: I will always remember Nan playing the piano on Christmas Eve and singing carols. She always got served first when I fried the smelts because she liked them hot and fresh. God bless her love Sharon and Bobby
