On Thursday, September 26, 2019, Anne Jane McCarthy of Island Heights, NJ, Toms River, NJ and Pennsauken, NJ earned her angel wings and passed peacefully into heaven surrounded by all her brothers and sisters, we know once she gets to heaven she was greeted by a multitude of family and friends ready to party and dance to welcome her to heaven. She was the life of many a party and heaven is going to be an even happier place now that Annie has arrived! Annie loved her birthday (should’ve been a national holiday). She loved beer, wine, a party, dancing (especially dancing with all her nephews together), swimming and the Yankees and Giants. Annie loved every one! When asked “Am I your favorite?” Annie would reply, “I love everyone the same.” Trust us we all tried to get her to pick “ME!” She loved teasing but then would say, “I teasing you!” and laugh. Her favorite present, “Hugs and kisses are the best!” she gave us kisses every day including her last.
Annie had a very important job at Social Services where she worked for 23 years. She did not miss a day of work willingly, it had to be preplanned in advance. She would remind us, “my staff needs me.” Annie trusted and loved all her coworkers over the years and they watched over her like she was one of their own. Annie resided in 21+ group homes and apartments for over 30 years. She loved her 21+ family and was grateful or all the care and opportunity they provided her. Many of her roommates were very special to her including her “coffee buddy” Sheila.
Anne was predeceased by her parents Jack and Jane (nee Hartnett) McCarthy.
Annie is survived by her brothers and sisters, as well as her many nieces and nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Annie was part of a large extended family that treasured her. She returned that love every minute of every day of her life. Annie was a source of unconditional love to anyone lucky enough to cross her path and a blessing to everyone she met.
