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.

June Lois Silver (nee Reich), 95, passed away peacefully at her home in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey on December 28, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. June was born in the Bronx, New York on July 6, 1930, to parents Jeanette and Albert Reich. She was the eldest of three sisters including Barbara Montesi, who passed in 2011, and Skip Himelstein of San Diego, California. She grew up in Hartford, Connecticut, and was a graduate of Weaver High School. In addition to her sister Barbara, June was predeceased by her parents, her loving husband of 60 years Stan Silver, her brother-in-law, David Himelstein and son-in-law, Michael Strong.

June lived in South Windsor, Connecticut most of her adult life, from 1958 to 2017. She was very active in South Windsor activities including the little league, library, Meals on Wheels, Grossi Dance Academy, yoga and bowling. She worked in the South Windsor school system and Bradley's Department Store for over 30 years. June and Stan were proud founding members of Temple Beth Hillel in South Windsor in 1961.

For the past eight years June resided at the Rittenberg Manor in Egg Harbor City, New Jersey where she was very active in local Galloway Township Senior Center activities and made many friends. She remained a fiercely loyal UConn Husky basketball and Boston Red Sox baseball fan and watched those teams play whenever she could. June had a great spirit and was completely independent until her passing. Throughout her blessed 95 years, she made many friends and she always wanted to help people. True to that spirit, June is making contributions to both the Temple Beth Hillel and the Galloway Township Senior Center in New Jersey.

A graveside service will be held in South Windsor, Conneticut.

William Wrigley

William W. Wrigley III, 82, passed away on December 22, 2025, with family by his side. Born on December 19, 1943, in Philadelphia, Bill spent most of his life as an electrician in the construction industry, proudly working with IBEW Local 98. He believed deeply in hard work and doing things the right way.

More than anything, Bill's life was defined by his love for his late wife Gerry. She was truly the love of his life. His devotion to her never wavered, and anyone who knew him knew that Gerry came first, always. He spoke of her often, missed her deeply, and carried his love for her with him every single day.

Bill took great joy in being a father, and in later years, a grandfather. One of his greatest joys was being "Grandpop" to his beloved grandkids, Jayna and Brody Phillips. When they were young, he read to them, let them climb all over him, and spent hours playing and building Legos. As they got older, that time turned into laughter, inside jokes, and plenty of good-natured goofing around. Through every stage, he was incredibly proud of both of them and never missed a chance to say so. He was a storyteller, a playmate, and a constant source of love.

Bill also had a lifelong love of animals, from his own pets to stray animals, and even the wildlife he encountered in his own yard and in nature. He had a gentle way with them, always ready with a kind hand, a treat, or a moment of attention.

He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law Allison and Mark Phillips of Shamong, NJ; son Brian Wrigley of Windsor, CO; grandchildren Jayna and Brody Phillips; brothers and sisters-in-law, Tom and Michele Wrigley of Philadelphia, PA; Rob and Nancy Wrigley of Silver Spring, MD; and Rick and Sandy Wrigley of Southampton, PA, along with many nephews and nieces. All will remember him for his stories, his humor, and his unmistakable presence at family gatherings.

Bill was preceded in death by his wife Geraldine Wrigley.

A private celebration of his life will be held in the new year. As an expression of sympathy, contributions may be sent to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital, a charity near and dear to Bill. Please click this link to donate. DONATE TO ST. JUDE'S

Jym proudly dedicated over 40 years of service as a mail carrier with the United States Postal Service.

Jym enjoyed spending time with family and friends for everything from special events, game nights or just dinner at the local diner. He did some traveling with a trip to London being a highlight.
