Obituary of Dorothy R. Breslin

Dorothy Breslin, (née Rade) age 89, of Sewell, NJ passed away peacefully at home on Monday, January 29th, 2018.

 

Dorothy was born on May 1, 1928 to the late Catherine (née Russian) and Stephen Rade in the family home on Ferry Avenue in Camden. She graduated from Camden H.S. in 1946 and started working as a secretary for Campbell Soup Company. She married Thomas B. Breslin at Sacred Heart Church in Camden in June 1958. They built a home in Glassboro and she soon found her life’s calling as a devoted wife, mother, and homemaker. Tom’s employment took them to Ellicott City, Maryland for 12 years but their love of their children, grandchildren, and their Jersey roots, brought them back to South Jersey in their retirement years. She was also a devoted member of Saints Peter & Paul Church for over 21 years.

 

Dorothy and Tom shared 59 beautiful years together until his passing in June 2017. She was the beloved mother of Jeffrey Breslin, Susan (Robert) Miller, Patricia (Neal) Schusler, Carol (Matthew) Orendac, and Kimberly Breslin. She was the devoted nana to her 13 grandchildren: Brooke, Brett, Tyler, Jake, and Zac Miller; Matthew, Julianne, and Faith Schusler; and Ashley, Emily, Taylor, Jack, and Brady Orendac. Dear sister to Catherine (the late Stephen) Mason and Diane (the late Thomas) Palmer. Cherished aunt to many nieces and nephews.
