As impossible as everyone always says it is, somehow Joan was able to pull off perfection. Making her soups, meals and desserts from scratch. Creating a fruit turkey centerpiece, knitting everyone in the family their own stocking and making Halloween costumes. She had a way of putting her touch on every holiday to make it special for people she loved all the while finding time to beat you in a word game while humming along to the music and sipping her glass of homemade iced tea.
She loved being around people, hosting family and friends at home or inviting them to stay at their shore house. She was loved and admired by so many people. She loved with all her heart and had a knack of making whomever she was with feel special. She now gets to be in heaven with her husband, Marty, and who they love the most, God.
Funeral and interment will be private at the convenience of the family. Contributions may be made in her memory to your favorite charity.

(TRENTON) — In light of recent drone activity in New Jersey the General Assembly today adopted AR173 urging the federal government to launch a comprehensive investigation into the increasing number of unidentified drones reported in New Jersey airspace. The resolution highlights the growing concern among residents, local officials, and law enforcement about the nature and purpose of these unmanned aircrafts, which have been observed in over a dozen counties, including near critical infrastructure and military installations. “The unexplained presence of these drones threatens our security and our peace of mind,” said Assembly Majority Leader Louis D. Greenwald (D-Burlington, Camden). “This is not just about unusual sightings – it’s about protecting critical infrastructure, safeguarding military installations, and ensuring the safety of millions of New Jersey residents. The federal government must act decisively, transparently, and with all deliberate speed to uncover the truth. “ Over the past several weeks, reports of mysterious drone sightings have increased across New Jersey, alarming communities and raising questions about potential security risks. Compounding these concerns are recent incidents involving lasers being pointed at passenger planes, jeopardizing the safety of travelers and crew. Additionally, air medical services have reported difficulties landing safely due to drone activity, putting critical medical operations and lives at risk. These escalating dangers highlight the urgent need for a thorough investigation. Despite the federal government’s assertions that many of these reports are likely lawful manned aircraft operations and that no national security threat has been substantiated, military and law enforcement officials have fueled widespread concern among New Jersey residents, prompting the General Assembly to act. “We cannot allow speculation and uncertainty to erode public trust,” Greenwald continued. “Without clear information, fear and confusion will continue to grow, undermining the sense of safety that every resident should feel in their own community.” The Federal Aviation Administration has now begun issuing temporary flying restrictions (TFRs) in multiple cities across New Jersey, for “security” reasons.
In 1968 a young teacher came to Alice Costello School. As a 14 year old I fell in love with this young teacher.
We remained friends from that day forward. As my family grew so did our relationship. In the cold of winter or extreme heat of summer we would meet her with my family at Manco & Manco for pizza in Ocean City.
Upon her retirement she spent her winters in Florida where I would spend a week for Austin’s spring baseball game. Then follow the day up eating whole Lobsters.
Yesterday Ms. McCarty / Mrs. Brown, Marion or “The Principal” passed away after months of suffering. Jill and I were fortunate enough to see Marion one last time Sunday. It was hard leaving knowing that may have been our last time together.
We laughed as best we could, sometimes you wonder if laughter was a good therapy.
Knowing Marion was in the loving hands of her daughter, son and grandchildren made our trip back home easier. Rest in Peace Marion McCarty Brown

Marion. Mar. Sissy. Mom. Grammy. Aunt. Friend. Colleague. Principal. Mrs. Brown. Marion was known by many titles. She was a take-charge-never-suffer-a-fool individual. Her strength, courage, and kindness were unparalleled—never hesitating to pitch in whenever, wherever needed. Never one to stand still, she was always on the go: St. John, Ocean City, Florida. Beaches all over called her name. Finding sea glass was an endless treasure. She delighted in casino trips—slot machines were her game. She always seemed to win…even when she lost. Her biggest jackpot was her precious grandchildren. They kept her spirit ever-young. May her strong, independent will live on in them.
