Carolann DeFoney

August 2, 1954 - November 3, 2026

Carolann DeFoney

(nee Tinelli), 72, of Washington Township, New Jersey, passed away after a life that refused to be quiet. Born and raised in Philadelphia, she spent the last 50 years in South Jersey, where she remained fiercely Italian, deeply devoted to her children, and an unapologetic Philadelphia Eagles fan. Go Birds!

If you met our mother, you remembered her. She was a force—loud in the best ways, stubborn in the ways that mattered, and full of love for her family. She is survived by her children, Regina Bou; Angela Payne and her husband William; and Joseph DeFoney and his fiancé Lauren, along with her grandchildren Thomas Rotella, Briana Cocozzo, and Joseph “Joe Joe” DeFoney.

Her death doesn’t end her impact it only grows it. No formal services will be held. Those who loved her are encouraged to remember her with good food, strong opinions, and a little extra volume the next time the Birds take the field. We love you, Mom.

I always found so much joy in the way Regina spoke about her mother. I am so very sorry for your loss. Thinking of your family during this difficult time.

Carolann was a second mother to me,,when I graduated I high school,,she got my act together and I never forgot it,, I was fortunate to connect with her again last year and it was wonderful to go back in time and talk about all the good times we had together. She was remarkable woman, a great mother and a great friend and should be wellness.
