April Joy Mendel

On June 16, 2023, of Newfield, formerly Washington Twp. Age 65, was called home to be with the Lord after a purposeful and love sharing life.  April will be tremendously missed and mourned by many, most notably her children, Brandon White and Harrah White (David Ashenfelter), grandchildren Jaxon, Luke, and Tessa, loving companion George White Sr., sisters Mindy Robinson, Natalie Cordero, life long friend Lesley Jones and her loving care takers. April was a huge animal lover and is survived by her cat Squirt and bird Kiwi.

April was born in Philadelphia, PA on April 1,1958, to the late Rochelle Twyne (John Twyne) and late John Mendel. She was educated in Philadelphia Public Schools.  She was employed in several managerial capacities for a host of well-known companies in the area but ultimately returned to work for the Philadelphia School District.  She was well- liked and respected equally by her colleagues and superiors in her professional capacities until her health challenges forced her to retire from the workforce.  Those who were lucky to have known April on a more personal level, truly got to appreciate the meaning of the word, and her middle name, Joy.  She was fiercely loyal to those she loved and sacrificed for (often at the expense of her own comforts) and there was never any doubt if she called you friend.

Family and friends are invited to her viewing Monday, June 26, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm at Egizi Funeral Home, 119 Ganttown Rd., Washington Twp. Funeral Service 12:30 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations in April’s memory may be made to the Animal Welfare Association, 509 Centennial Blvd., Voorhees, NJ 08043.

Miss April, You were truly family and I will miss everything about you. You are a familiar and loving mama bear that would lovingly yell at me like you would your own kids ( get off the lawn Leslie!, you worry too much Les!) I don’t even know how many times I slept over, knocked on the door, got the hilarious “ congratulations, someone gave you the correct phone number” voicemail, it’s all a part of my childhood and ingrained into my memories. You were there for me when I was happy, sad, lonely, scared, excited, bratty, all of it. Harrah was and is my sister, partner in crime, adventurer and none of that was possible without you, her amazing mom allowing me to be a part of the family. It feels like yesterday, swimming in the pool, jumping on the trampoline, playing sonic the hedgehog and hearing you yell for Harrah “(Bubba! Lol)” down the street. You were and are truly one of a kind,I always admired your amazing attitude and bad assery while also being a true woman of faith and a Christian who loves Jesus. Your nail polish collection couldn’t be beat, I didn’t even know they made that many colors. You had a water bed before I even knew they existed and were cool ( I later begged for my own water bed, my mom said no hahah) You gave me the coolest hair styles and treated me as if I was your second daughter. I always thought how brave you were doing everything you could and pushing yourself for Harrah and Brandon, even when times weren’t easy. You were and are truly an example of an amazing, fierce woman and I am so lucky that you were more than just my neighbor and best friend’s mom, you were my family. My mom and I love you forever and you will truly be missed.
