				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Julia L. "Julie" (Merrylees) Dorsey, 67, of Elsinboro, New Jersey, peacefully passed away on July 14, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born on August 28, 1958, in Warren, Pennsylvania, Julie lived a life centered on love, family, service, and her lifelong passion for dance. She was the beloved daughter of the late William and Jennie Merrylees.

Dance was Julie's calling. In 1982, she fulfilled her dream by opening South Jersey Dance Academy, where she inspired and mentored young dancers for 13 years. Even after closing the studio, she continued sharing her talent at a former student's studio until just a few years ago. Through her patience, encouragement, and dedication, Julie helped shape not only skilled dancers but confident young people, many of whom went on to teach and inspire others.

Alongside her dance career, Julie dedicated 25 years to the Salem County Treasurer's Office before retiring. She later worked for Avenues as a caregiver, lovingly supporting her brother, John—reflecting the compassion and selflessness that defined her life.

Julie was known for her remarkable organizational skills, strong will, generous heart, and unwavering devotion to her family. She brought people together, never forgot a birthday or special occasion, and was often the glue that kept loved ones connected. Whether planning family vacations, cheering on those she loved, or simply being there when someone needed her, Julie made everyone feel valued. Her legacy of kindness, strength, and unconditional love lives on in the many lives she touched.

Julie is survived by her loving husband, Robert Dorsey Sr.

Julie and Bob shared 36 years of love and partnership, a lifelong commitment that remained strong through every chapter of their lives.

Julie leaves behind her son, Jason Weber, and his fiancée, Christine Craig; her stepchildren, Robert Dorsey Jr. (Kelly), Jennifer Aldana (Jose), and Brett Dorsey (Leslie). She is lovingly remembered by her twelve grandchildren and one precious great grandchild, born the day before her passing. Julie was able to see a photo of her newest great grandchild, a moment that brought her profound joy.

Julie's brothers Bill, Scott, Ralph, and John Merrylees, along with her sister, Kimberli Kelley, and sister-in-law Lorraine Pobanz, will forever hold her memory close. She is also remembered by many nieces, nephews, extended family members, former students, and dear friends who were blessed to know her.

Though Julie's greatest accomplishments were never measured by awards or titles, they can be seen in every dancer she shaped, every family gathering she brought together, every life she encouraged, and every heart she touched. Her love, guidance, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed but forever remembered. The family finds comfort knowing her legacy will continue through the family she cherished, the students she inspired, and the countless memories she created throughout her beautiful life.

In lieu of flowers, the family has established the Miss Julie's Legacy Fund to continue her love for dance and support future generations. Donations may be made through the GoFundMe created in her honor.

Services will be held at 6:00 PM on Friday July 24th at the Laughrey Funeral Home where friends may call from 4:00 to 6:00 PM prior to the service. Burial will be private. In lieu of flowers we ask you to donate to The Miss Julie Legacy Fund to help keep help her love for dance alive.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Born in Camden, NJ, James was the son of the late Joseph and Lena Mosley.

He proudly joined the United States Army early in life, where his military service inspired a lifelong admiration for law enforcement. Following his service, he began a valiant endeavor, aspiring to work as a member of the police force. Life events placed that specific goal on hold in favor of employment that drew on his dual innate talents in baking and building construction. He managed and operated doughnut shops early in his career and later successfully built a lifelong path working predominantly independently in the construction trades, with a special focus on masonry, and brick/block laying.

James will be remembered fondly for his enormity of generosity, kindness, abilities, sheer strength, diligence, dedication, and devotion. His warmth, compassion, and willingness to lend a hand touched the lives of everyone who knew him. In later years, he especially enjoyed cooking and baking and found immense joy in sharing his talents with family and friends.

James is survived by his sons, Jim Mosley, and Mark Mosley (Betty Ann); his sister, Judy (Edward); his granddaughters, Gabrielle, and Courtney; and his great-grandson, Owen.

In addition to his parents, James was preceded in death by his sister, Janet; his brother, Bob; and his daughter-in-law, Arden.

He was named a Tri-County All-Star in both football and track and received All-South Jersey Group II honors in football. His passion for athletics continued long after high school, as he played and coached semi-professional football from 1954 to 1962 with the Blue Raiders and Swedesboro Devils. He also played basketball with the Black Hawk hoopsters and at Kamp Karney. David's love of mentoring young athletes led him to found and become the first coach of the Penns Grove Hawks Midget Football team.

He later enjoyed a long and successful career as a Laboratory Technician at DuPont Chambers Works, retiring after 39 years of dedicated service.

David embraced life with enthusiasm and cherished time spent with family and friends. He enjoyed golfing at Holly Hills and Sakima Country Club, where he was an honorary member.

Judith Lee Flynn, affectionately known as Judy, passed away on July 5, 2026, after a courageous battle with cancer. She was 79 years old.

Born on August 7, 1946, in Plainfield, New Jersey, Judy was the beloved daughter of the late Edward H. Mobus and Roberta S. Mobus. She spent most of her life in Pittsgrove, New Jersey, before recently moving to Stow Creek to live with her daughter and son-in-law, where she spent her final days surrounded by unwavering love, comfort, and support.

Judy was a proud graduate of Glassboro State College, Class of 1968. In 1969, she began what would become a remarkable 36-year career as a special education teacher in the Vineland Public School District, retiring in 2004. She taught trainable and severely handicapped students during a time when her classroom was one of the few programs available in the area. Because her students often remained with her for several years, they became much more than pupils; they became like her own children. Judy loved every one of them wholeheartedly, and they forever held a special place in her heart. Her compassion, patience, and unwavering belief in every child's potential left an immeasurable impact on countless families.

In December of 1967, Judy met the love of her life, W. Daniel "Danny" Flynn. It was love at first sight. Four months later they were engaged, and one year after they met, they were married, beginning a devoted partnership filled with love, laughter, and family. Together they built a life centered around caring for others and creating lasting memories.

Judy was happiest when surrounded by family and friends. She loved entertaining, hosting parties, and bringing people together. Her friends were never “just friends”, they became her chosen family. She possessed an extraordinary gift for making people feel remembered and loved. She never missed a birthday, anniversary, holiday, or special occasion, faithfully sending cards to everyone she cared about. She remembered the smallest details of each person's life and celebrated every milestone with genuine joy. Her thoughtful cards, kind words, and generous heart touched countless lives, and this beautiful tradition will be missed beyond measure.

She also loved the music of the 1950s and 1960s, especially Elvis Presley. Whether chatting on the phone with loved ones, visiting with friends and family, or quietly completing a Word Search puzzle while music filled the room, Judy found happiness in life's simple pleasures.

Judy is reunited in Heaven with those she loved most: her beloved husband, W. Daniel Flynn, who passed away on May 26, 2020; her cherished son, Kyle Edward Flynn, who passed away on March 25, 2023; her parents, Edward H. Mobus (July 24, 2008) and Roberta S. Mobus (May 7, 2013); and her sister, Elizabeth Sue Merrick (January 24, 2023).

She leaves behind her loving daughter, Heather Massing, and son-in-law, Michael Massing; her treasured granddaughter, Kayla Massing; her adored grand-fur baby, Bean; many beloved​ cousins from both the Mobus and Flynn families; and countless friends whose lives were enriched by her kindness and unwavering friendship.

Among those mourning her loss is her lifelong best friend, Alice Richardson (nee Durant). Their friendship began in the second grade and endured for more than seven decades as a rare and beautiful bond that Judy treasured throughout her life.

Judy's legacy is one of unconditional love, compassion, generosity, and service. She dedicated her life to caring for her family, her students, and everyone fortunate enough to know her. She made people feel important, remembered, and deeply loved which is a gift that will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the many caregivers, hospice team members, friends, and loved ones who surrounded Judy with compassion, dignity, and love throughout her final journey.

A private celebration of Judy's life will be held at a later date. Please share memories and condolences at <a title="Click to open in a new window or tab" href="https://www.adamsfuneralhome.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">www.adamsfuneralhome.org</a>.

In lieu of flowers, the family encourages everyone to honor Judy in the way she so often honored others: send a card, make a phone call, visit someone you love, or simply let someone know they are remembered. There is no greater tribute to the life she lived.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Forever in our hearts.
