Carolyn Mae Hersperger

Carolyn Mae Hersperger (Robertson), age 90, of Deptford, NJ, passed away on September 10, 2025. Born on March 22, 1935, in Rochester, PA, she was the cherished daughter of Alexander and Mae (McAllister) Robertson and grew up alongside her brother Darryl (deceased).

Carolyn’s journey began as a telephone operator, and after college, she embraced adventure by becoming a stewardess for Eastern Airlines and traveled. Her path then led her to Pittsburgh, PA, where she married Wade W. Hersperger Jr. (deceased) and began a beautiful life together raising a family. Eventually, they settled in New Jersey, where Carolyn worked at Strawbridge & Clothier until retirement. She later moved to Stuart, FL, before returning to NJ to be closer to her children and grandchildren.

Carolyn had a lifelong love for the beach, especially Fenwick Island, DE, where she created treasured memories with her family across generations. She was known for her impeccable style—always thoughtfully accessorized from head to toe—and her passion for travel and shopping.

More than anything, Carolyn was a devoted mother, a loving grandmother and great-grandmother, and a kind and gracious friend. Her warmth, elegance, and gentle spirit touched everyone who knew her. She will be deeply missed, forever remembered, and always loved.

Carolyn was the beloved wife of the late Wade W. Hersperger Jr., and the devoted mother of Wade Hersperger III (Joan), Robin Rizzo, and Carol Lubonski (Joe). She was a proud grandmother to Casey Logar (Ryan), Joe Lubonski, Haley Rizzo, Jordan Rizzo, Renee Hersperger, and Nicole Beer (Josh), and a cherished great-grandmother to Billie Rose and Ruby.

Her life will be honored and remembered privately by her family.
