Gregory Heisler, 56, Formerly of Gloucester City

On July 23, 2026 at the age of 56, Greg passed suddenly at Jefferson Hospital in Cherry Hill. Of Cinnaminson. Formerly of Gloucester City.

Predeceased by his parents, James E. Heisler and Helen C. Heisler (nee Geoghegan), brother, Edward Heisler; step-sister Angel Heisler and step-brother Jimmy Heisler.

Survived by his longtime partner, Jenna; children, Raine and Brandon Heisler; brothers, Michael Heisler and John Heisler; step-sisters Jane Heisler and Susan Heisler.

Greg will be remembered for his big heart, generous spirit, and wonderful sense of humor. A devoted sports fan, he rarely missed cheering on his beloved Eagles and Flyers. He had an appreciation of all music, but a deep love for rock and metal.

More than anything, Greg loved his family. Raine and Brandon meant the world to him, and he treasured every moment he spent with them. He had a gift for telling goofy jokes and loved making people laugh—even if he was the one laughing the hardest.

Greg was also incredibly thoughtful. He never forgot an anniversary, birthday, Mother’s Day, or Valentine’s Day. Whether it was flowers, chocolates, a special dinner, or a small surprise, he found countless ways to make Jenna feel loved and appreciated. His kindness, thoughtfulness, and unwavering love will be deeply missed and forever remembered by those who knew him.

Mary E. Chandler, 89, Formerly of Audubon

Mary Elizabeth Chandler (nee McGrory) passed away peacefully on July 22, 2026, at the age of 89.

Mary was born in Darby, Pennsylvania, on September 6, 1936, to the late Francis A. and Genevieve E. (nee Malloy) McGrory. The family crossed the bridge and became “the Jersey McGrorys,” and Mary grew up in Audubon with her big brother Frank, “Irish twin” Patsy and little sister Kathleen, as well as Aunts Ann and Marie. She attended St. Rose of Lima grammar school in Haddon Heights and later Camden Catholic High School.

During high school Mary met the love of her life, Roy Chandler, and they were married in 1957. They made their home in Pennsauken, N.J., where they welcomed their son, Michael, in 1964.

Over the years Mary worked at Bell Telephone as a phone switch operator, in the women’s clothing department at Strawbridge & Clothier in Cherry Hill, NJ, and the gift shop at Virtua Hospital in Marlton, NJ. Her final home was Spring Hills in Cherry Hill.

Mary was an honest, caring and strong woman with a sharp wit who enjoyed bird watching, caring for plants and going for scenic drives in Roy’s convertible. Her happiest moments were those spent with family, especially weeks at the Jersey shore or trips to Newport, Rhode Island.

“This occurrence is slightly earlier than our typical first detection date, historically the last week in July or first week in August – but is consistent with other WNV activity thus far this summer elsewhere in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast,” DNREC Mosquito Control Section Administrator Tom Moran said.
