Obituary of Anna E. Albert

Anna E. Albert (Eith), 82, of West Deptford, New Jersey, passed away suddenly, surrounded by family on Monday, October 31, 2022.  

Legacy

Born in Camden, New Jersey, Anna was a longtime resident of West Deptford and parishioner of Holy Angels Parish (previously St. Matthews).  Prior to retiring, Anna was a transportation aid, working with children of special needs, at Gateway Regional School District for 25 years. She was also a breast cancer survivor of over 29 years. A member of Love Apple Quilt Guild where she handcrafted many heirloom quilts for her family and “quilt-worthy” friends.

Anna enjoyed car rides, watching airplanes down at the monument, weekend trips to Lancaster County, and nightly ice cream soirées with her loving husband, Sam. 

Her Family always thought it was funny that all Anna's doctor appointments were scheduled conveniently around lunch, so they could have the “excuse” to stop at her favorite lunch spot....McDonald's.  

Anna kept a stash of sweets in the bottom drawer of her nightstand where she would hide her second favorite delight, Jelly Belly jellybeans, which were carefully curated to fit every holiday, birthday, and event. She specifically saved the licorice ones for Sam, his favorite.
