Owner/Manager
N.J. Lic. No. 3820 The LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home was established in 1952 by LeRoy Purley Wooster. In 1972, Mr.

The building was originally a large home at the corner of White Horse Pike & Cooper Folly Rd. that was converted into a funeral home and the family residence. In 1962 an extensive addition was added giving the funeral home one of the largest viewing rooms in the area. Wooster added a crematory and the business became the LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home & Crematory, as we know it today. This unique addition made our business one of only two funeral home operated crematories in the state of New Jersey

In 1976, founder and owner LeRoy P. Wooster passed away unexpectedly. With the help of professionally licensed staff, his wife, Alice Wooster maintained the business until her son LeRoy P. Wooster received his funeral directors license in 1986 introducing the second generation of the family into the business. Today, over 60 years later, the funeral home continues to be owned and operated by LeRoy P. Wooster who continues his father's legacy with the help of a dedicated, caring and professional staff.

Mary E. Gallagher

Mary Elizabeth Gallagher, beloved daughter of Thomas and Helen Gallagher of Berlin, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on November 27th, 2025, at age 74. Before health issues took over her final seven years, she was energetic and "bubbly," known and loved by many for her generosity and good deeds. For more than 40 years, she was the owner/operator of Micki's Hair Designs on the White Horse Pike in Berlin. Mary always managed to provide hair styling for her customers who could no longer get to her shop in their homes or their residential facility on top of her salon schedule and other part-time jobs that she always had! Family members and even friends of family members had a hard time paying for a haircut or perm because Mary refused to accept payment - it is hard to imagine how much money Mary walked away from over her hairdressing career that started when she was just 18 years old!

Mary's energy kept her going at her business and rescuing stray cats, but then she also managed to get her school bus drivers license and drive for the Waterford School District and later for T & L Transportation. Mary loved the students that she transported daily as she continued to provide cuts, curls, and color to her loyal customers at the salon. "Miss Mary's" care and good humor were much appreciated by the families of her special kids.

Mary was always ready to help others and do special things for her family. Before she became ill, she made remembrance wreaths at Christmastime for all the family members who passed. Over the years, she loved hosting the family's Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings at the family home in Berlin. She will always be remembered for too many appetizers!

Mary will be deeply missed by her sisters Helene Keller, Jane Moxford, Evelyn Browne, and Michaelyn Guarini; her brothers-in-law John Keller, Sr. and Gregory Guarini; her nieces Jane Allyson Moxford, Leena Trinidad, Lizabeth Carl, Karyn Keller, and Caroline Browne; her nephews Brian Keller, Stephen Keller, Brian Browne, Danny Carl, and Thomas Henry Guarini, her godson, as well as many great-nieces and nephews, cousins, and friends.

The family will have a private service at Gate of Heaven Cemetery to say good-bye.

Those wishing to express condolences to the family or share a happy memory of Mary can send cards to: The Gallagher Girls, 5 N. Atlantic Ave., Berlin, NJ 08009 or post on LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home & Crematory Wooster website guestbook.

Please send donations made in Mary's name to: Animal Welfare Association, 509 Centennial Blvd, Voorhees Township, NJ 08043 or by clicking here.

Bernadette J. Ignas, age 76, of Medford, NJ, passed away on November 26, 2025. She was born in Camden, NJ, to the late Lawrence B. and Jennie (nee Chmielewski) Vitagliano.

Bernadette previously worked in the deli department at Acme in Medford and in sales at the Berlin Mart. She enjoyed thrifting, visiting the casino, and listening to music. Halloween was her favorite holiday, and she loved going out to eat with family and friends.

Mary "Mimi" T. Brock

Mary Theresa Brock (nee Gagliardi) of Cedar Brook, NJ passed away on November 27, 2025, at the age of 79. Devoted wife of the late Patrick "Pops" S. Brock; loving mother of Jennifer Brock, Jason Brock (Marieke) and Jacquelyn Walker (Greg); proud grandmother of Rocco, Lucca, and Gordon.

Mary "Mimi" was born on October 31, 1946, in Philadelphia, PA to Santina and Floyd Gagliardi and attended West Catholic Girls' High School. She met Patrick at a USO dance, and they married in 1971. In 1973, they moved to the quaint little town of Cedar Brook, New Jersey, where they were happily married for 51 years.

Mimi was so heavily involved with church, community, and helping neighbors, everywhere she went she knew someone. She worked tirelessly as a medical transcriptionist for over 35 years at Kessler Memorial Hospital and Central Orthopedic Associates, both located in Hammonton, NJ. She made lifelong friends in the workplace, coordinating ladies' luncheons once a month to share stories and make sure no one in the group ever felt alone.

Family was at the heart of everything Mimi did-whether she was helping guide her children/grandchildren through their education, supporting them at their sporting events, serving as Girl Scouts' Assistant Leader and Camden County Cookie Coordinator, or meticulously planning vacations/camping trips across the country.

Later in life she and Patrick were Snowbirds, escaping to Myrtle Beach for the warmth of the sun and once again expanding her circle of friends. Mimi's other lifelong passions were rooting for her favorite sports teams (Roll Tide!), working on jigsaw puzzles, and listening to audio books, musicals, or her favorite operas.

Her warmth, humor, and unwavering love leave an imprint that will remain in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A visitation will be held on Saturday, December 20, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home and Crematory, 441 White Horse Pike, Atco, NJ. A prayer service will begin at 11:00 AM at the funeral home. Cremation and interment will be held privately. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ronald McDonald House by clicking here.

In his free time, he was an avid fisherman and loved to golf. If you didn't see him on the dock fishing or on the putting green, you could find him tending to his treasured garden. Lawrence had a friendly and upbeat personality, which made him the perfect person to hold the title of President of the Residence Association at the Fountains where he called home. Most of all, he loved spending time with his family and friends.

Cremation will be held privately at LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home & Crematory. A memorial service to be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Lawrence's memory can be made to the Alzheimer's Association by clicking here.
