(nee Spalazzo) Surrounded by her loving family, on February 4, 2016, of Cherry Hill. Age 69. Beloved wife of the late Robert E. Devoted mother of Robert A. (Christina). Loving sister of Richard Spalazzo (Ivy). Dear sister-in-law of Raymond Worrick (Jackie). Step-grandmother of Michael, Christopher and Nicholas. Loving aunt of Sartre and Bill Woltjen, Ashle and Raymond Worrick. Also survived by her great-nieces, Julia and Alexa.
A few days ago, my mother passed away and yet I can still hear her calling me from the other room. Her presence was so great, it’s hard to believe she’s no longer there. In August, I got married and moved my wife and new family into our home and mom was there to share that with us. Although she was sick, she made the best of it. She interacted with my wife, teaching her “her” ways of cooking. She laughed with the kids every day, seeing them off to school and demanding hugs and kisses for each hello and goodbye. She loved her cats, Laverne and Shirley, and made sure we spoiled them with the “right” cat food.
Although my father has been gone for a year and a half, mom would still speak of him as if he was still here. They shared a bond of love that defied life and it’s my true belief that they are reunited in heaven today.
If I had to describe my mother, I’d tell you that she is one of a kind. She spoke what was on her mind and heart. She was truly an irreplaceable mother. I will miss her dearly, but I am joyful knowing she is with Christ in paradise and will no longer feel the suffering of this world.
