Collins Allen Patrick, Jr., age 77, of Pennsville, NJ, passed away peacefully at his home on August 27, 2026, surrounded by loved ones. While he considered himself a lucky man on this side of eternity, he was genuinely eager to meet his Creator on the other side. A cornerstone of his family, Collins was deeply loved and respected, leaving behind a lasting legacy of hard work, humor, and faith.

A resident of Pennsville since 1976, Collins was born on December 4, 1948, to Collins Allen Patrick, Sr. and Marion Haskett Patrick of Quinton, NJ. He spent his early life on his family farm, learning practical skills and getting into plenty of trouble. After graduating from Salem High School in 1967, Collins honorably served his country in the United States Air Force from 1968 to 1971, reaching the rank of Sergeant while stationed in Thailand.

Collins worked for Campbell’s Plumbing in Salem for many years before stepping out on his own in September of 1994 to establish Collins Patrick Mechanical Contractor, which he and his wife, Bonnie, successfully operated for 25 years. Known throughout the community for his honesty and reliability, Collins was a respected local tradesman who formed deep, lifelong relationships with fellow contractors, business owners, and members of the community.

For years, Collins was an enthusiastic member of the Quinton Sportsmen’s Club and Oxford Gun Club. He was well known for his playful competitive spirit—he loved nothing more...

Barbara was recently preceded in death by her beloved husband, Steve, on June 15, 2026. The close timing of their deaths is a testament to their love and devotion to one another. They took care of each other until the very end. She was also preceded in death by her parents and three siblings.

Barbara is survived by her children: Delbert Holmes (Stefanie), Ronald Holmes, Steve Chomo III (Denee), and Cynthia Martin (Nelson). She is also survived by her beloved grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Hannah Mae Lloyd (Nazar), age 79, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her husband, Howard Lloyd Jr.; her two daughters, Connie Green and Bonnie Fox; her sons-in-law, Tom Green and Phillip Fox; and her two granddaughters, Becky Grablow and Autumn Todd.

Mae finished high school and couldn’t wait to start a family. She married Howard Lloyd Jr. on November 2, 1963. Not long after, they welcomed their first child, Howard Vincent Lloyd, on April 19, 1964 (wife Kathy Lloyd). Mae loved being a mom. She welcomed twin girls on April 14, 1966, Bonnie (husband Phillip) and Connie (husband Tom).

When Mae wasn’t busy being a wife and a mother, she loved to dance with her family. She was very talented at crocheting for family and friends. Anything from blankets, hand towels, hats, dresses, and even potholders—the sky was the limit.

She was also very active fishing with her husband or crabbing with her mom. Mae was very involved in her church, Pennsville Assembly of God, for 20+ years. She enjoyed traveling and going on cruises with her husband.

One of her favorite things to do, in honor of her predeceased sister, Thelma Norton, was making chocolate Easter eggs with her daughters and grandchildren.

Mae, also known as Nanny to her several grandchildren and great-grandchildren, was the ultimate gamer, as they would call her. She would stay up all hours with them, playing on any and all game systems and making so many memories. Mae will be so very missed.

William J. St. Cyr, born September 20, 1944, in Worcester, Massachusetts, passed away on August 21, 2026, surrounded by the love of a family who will miss him deeply.
William shared 59 years of marriage with his beloved wife, Mary F. St. Cyr (née Maguire). Together, they built a life and family that remained at the center of William’s world throughout his life.
William was a creative and remarkably handy man—a natural craftsman who seemed able to build, repair, or improve just about anything. His family could always count on him when something needed to be done. As they fondly remember, “Dad could fix absolutely anything.”
He put those talents to work professionally when he founded Customcraft by Saint, Inc., a general contracting company in Southboro, Massachusetts. His creativity, resourcefulness, and skill with his hands were not simply part of his profession; they were part of who he was.
William was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. In addition to his wife, Mary, he is survived by his daughter, Michele S. Ingersoll (née St. Cyr) and her husband, Joseph P. Ingersoll, and his son, Robert W. St. Cyr and his wife, Amy St. Cyr (née Dybas).
He was also the proud grandfather of Maddie and Joey Ingersoll and Jon St. Cyr, who were an important part of the family he and Mary created together.
William leaves behind more than the things he built or repaired. He leaves the family with whom he shared his life, the example of a man who knew the...
