John Michael Nolan, of Haddon Township, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 5, 2026. John was 83 years old.

John had many names. His beloved mother and his sisters called him Michael, his children called him Dad, his friends and co-workers called him Mike, and his grandchildren called him Poppy. John lived life to the fullest and all of those who spent time with him will remember one crazy story after another. From burning his motorcycle through the streets of Woodlynne to his endless business ideas like the construction company he created with Uncle Dan called “U R Stuck Construction” each story got better and better. John loved spending time at the Jersey Shore, particularly in Strathmere and Sea Isle City which he referred to as his “little slice of heaven”. He was famous for telling stories about all the fish he caught—though, as his family will fondly point out, very few were ever actually seen. His favorite shore stops included the Deauville Inn, Springfield Inn, Mike’s Seafood, fishing the point, and renting boats at Frank’s Boats; places that became part of many cherished memories. He will forever be remembered sitting on the beach, having a beer, burnt to a crisp, working on what he referred to as “his golden bronze”.

Cheryl graduated with honors from Lenape High School in Medford in 1978. While there, she excelled in gymnastics and also enjoyed playing softball.

Shortly after graduating high school Cheryl welcomed her first and only child, Derek Wayne Wynne on September 22, 1979. Throughout the years she worked a number of different jobs including retail clerk. Cheryl spent the majority of her time between Palmyra New Jersey and Mount Laurel where she was well loved by both communities. She also endured a lengthy battle with mental illness nonetheless staying busy and positive along the way. In the last few years Cheryl was in the care of two facilities, Complete Care at Crescent and Silver Care where she endeared herself to the staff as well as the other patients.  Cheryl entered her eternal reward on January 16th 2026 at the age of 65 at Jefferson Hospital in Cherry Hill New Jersey from respiratory failure. She will be missed by many but forgotten by none.
