Elizabeth J. Casolaro, (nee Wolfheimer), on April 24th, passed peacefully into the arms of our Lord at the age of 93. Betty, as she was affectionately known, was the loving daughter of William and Lillian Wolfheimer and the sister of the late Robert (Edna Mae) Wolfheimer. She married the late Donald (Buster) Casolaro who was the love of her life and raised three devoted children, Donald, the late Michael, and Betty Jane (Mark). Betty is survived by her cherished grandchildren, Lori Anne, Tara (Anthony), Tracy, and Michael (not by blood but by love), and her dear great grandchildren, Rocco and Gianni.
After the deaths of their husbands, Betty spent a good part of her life living with her sister-in-law Anna Mae (Michael), whom she loved dearly. She also was the aunt of the late Kurt and Mark (Terri), and Lisa (Kevin) and great nieces, Christiana and Desiree. She leaves many loving friends and cousins, especially, Paul and Joanne Roberts and Lisa Bertone. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Michelle Casolaro.
Betty was a beautiful person who never uttered a bad word about anyone. She was devoted to her family and friends and was always ready to help those in need. She spent years nursing her husband while he suffered from diabetes until his death in 1986. Her conversion to Catholicism at the age of 58 was a remarkable experience for her. She enjoyed the casinos, having a martini now and then, cooking for her family, and spending time at her home in Longport.
Family and friends are welcome to attend her viewing 9:30 – 11:00 am at the Church of the Holy Family, 226 Hurffville Road, Washington Twp. Mass of Christian Burial 11:15 am. Entombment Calvary Cemetery, Cherry Hill.
