Obituary of Roberta L. Cole

Cole, Roberta L. (nee Hasselbusch)

With her family by her side, Bobbie peacefully went home to be with the Lord on August 15, 2019, age 77 years. 

A long time resident of Tansboro, NJ, Bobbie was the wife of John J. Cole and mother to 4 children: Lisa Starner (Steven), Deanna Cole, John R. Cole (Jessica) and Cheryl Vance (Jeffrey). She was the proud nana of 6: David Sharples (Aubrie), Douglas Sharples (Lexy), Sean Alexander, Jason Alexander, Madison Cole, and Peyton Cole. Additionally, she was the proud nana of one great grandchild and 5 step-grandchildren. 

In her younger years, she was involved with the Rainbow girls and was a founding member of the Winslow Township Ambulance Corp. She graduated from Helene Fuld School of Nursing in 1981 and spent the next 25 years as an Emergency Department Nurse at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, NJ. Her favorite past times were traveling, cooking, cross-stitch, crossword puzzles, and the company of her treasured friends (Kathy, Gerry, and Eva to name a few). Cats were her passion, rescuing many and loving them all. 

A special thank you to Penn Medicine and Samaritan Hospice for all your wonderful support and hard work. We will always carry your memory in our hearts.
