				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mary Ida Beard Weiser Obituary Mary Ida Beard Weiser, formerly of Pennsville, New Jersey, was born on April 10, 1922, in Woodbury, New Jersey.

She took great pride in taking care of others, keeping up on what was going on in the world, looking good, and loving her family.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Diane Frances (DeMartini) Eichman, age 82, of Hershey, Pennsylvania and formerly of Hockessin, Delaware peacefully passed away on Saturday, June 13, 2026 after a courageous, nearly four-year battle with stage 4 lung cancer.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Joseph Edward Seibert, age 72, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, June 13, 2026. Ed was born in Elmer, NJ on March 15, 1954 to Joseph W. and Betty Jane (Doughty) Seibert. He graduated from Penns Grove High School in June 1973. Edward was predeceased by his parents, as well as his brother Kenneth W. Seibert and sister JoAnn Watson. He is survived by sisters Patricia Koskey (Jack) and Karen Sherkness (Bill), and brothers Michael Seibert (Ginny) and James Doughty, Sr. He leaves behind nephews and nieces: Jimmy, Sherry, Dawn, Joey, Jeff, Denise, Jessica, Jamie, Zac, Kimmy, Amanda, Amber, and Bethany. Also many great nieces and nephews, all of whom will forever cherish the many memories they made together.

At times Ed took on the role of a father figure and even brother to many. He also proudly assumed the role of “Pop Pop” to Natalie, Alex and Gianna.

As a young child he participated in Little League, and Boy Scouts of America. In his teen years he was active in the Penns Grove High School Marching Band, and a member of the Order of DeMolay.

Ed’s passions in life were family, friends and travel. In his many travels he visited most of the 50 states including Hawaii, the EXPO 86 World Festival in Vancouver, Mexico, and at one point even drove across the country. His favorite family vacations were to Sea Isle City, NJ, and to Lake George, NY and surrounding areas. He also enjoyed many camping trips to the Jersey Pine Barrens with family. He frequently visited the historical village of Batsto where he located information regarding our Doughty ancestors. Though time eventually restricted his mobility and financial realities kept him closer to home, his adventurous spirit was never truly grounded. He lived his later years with the same free spirit he always had, just on a quieter scale.

Ed spent years passionately researching his Seibert family’s heritage, leaving no stone unturned in tracing his lineage. He traveled across the region to scour national and state records, visiting archives in Trenton, New York City, and Washington, D.C. His search also took him directly to local graveyards and historical repositories, where he meticulously examined old headstones and parish registries for clues. He shared his love of family history with cousin David Conover. He frequently visited the village of Batsto where he located much of his information regarding his Doughty side of the family.

His many hobbies included photography. Nieces, nephews and several friends accompanied Ed through the years to numerous locations to capture nature at its finest. They also enjoyed nightly ghost hunts and deer spotting. Many of his nature photos were displayed in a local diner. He was a regular nightly visitor at the diner where he spent many hours creating long lasting friendships.

When anyone thinks of someone selfless Ed’s name is sure to come to mind. Kind, compassionate, intelligent, faithful, curious, but most importantly he was real. He genuinely lived for others. He placed the needs, happiness, and well-being of those he loved far above his own. He had a unique ability to truly see people, meeting everyone with an open heart and an open mind. To know Ed was to experience a rare, unconditional kindness that made the world feel a little brighter and steadier for everyone blessed enough to be in his life.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[Carolyn Sickler Patton, 85, of Woodstown, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on June 10, 2026.

Born to Howard W. Sickler and Elizabeth Bagge Sickler, Carolyn lived a life marked by deep faith, unwavering love for her family, and a servant's heart. For sixty-two years, she shared a loving marriage with her devoted husband, Ned Patton, building a family and a legacy rooted in Christian values, kindness, and grace.

Carolyn's faith in God was the foundation of her life. A faithful member of Grace Bible Church, she dearly loved her church family and found great joy in serving the Lord. Earlier in life, she taught Sunday School at Haddon Heights Baptist Church, helping to nurture the faith of countless children. Prayer was one of her greatest ministries, and she faithfully lifted up her family—her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren—in prayer throughout her life.

Nothing brought Carolyn more happiness than gathering her loved ones around her table. She was a wonderful cook who delighted in hosting family and creating a home filled with warmth, laughter, and love. She was also an accomplished seamstress whose creativity and skill blessed many, and she found peace and satisfaction tending to her garden and caring for her beautiful plants.

Carolyn will be remembered for her steadfast faith, generous heart, and the love she so freely shared with everyone around her. Her family takes comfort in knowing that she has entered into the presence of her Savior, whom she faithfully loved and served throughout her life.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Ned Patton; her daughters, Elizabeth Howe and her husband, Brad and Lori Bier and her husband, Jerry; her grandchildren, Jessica Grimstad (Gabriel), David Howe (Giorgia), Evan Bier, Rachel Bier, Juliet Bier, Matthew Bier, Elyse Patton, Garrett Patton, and Norah Patton; and her two great-grandchildren, Nala Howe and Aliyah Howe.

In addition to her parents, Carolyn was preceded in death by her son, Greg Patton, and her siblings, Jeanne Trexler and Wayne Sickler.

Carolyn's life was a beautiful testimony to faith, family, and love. Her example will continue to inspire all who were blessed to know her, and her memory will be treasured forever.
