Dear Jim & Family, We are soo sorry to hear about Loucille. We loved her and we were very blessed to have her in our lives! I always loved talking with her when she would come for alterations ..we would laugh a lot, and have a wonderful time together! Words can’t express how we feel , but we also feel joy knowing she is in the Big Hands of our Lord and having no more illness & pain. She was so caring with her uplifting words always a compliment. You Jim, her Children & Grandchildren & Great Grandchildren were the LOVES of her life…Our prayers & thoughts are now with you all now at this most difficult time…knowing how you are going to miss her to miss her soo much! Love you all! Mae & Sonny

Like the fiery red nail polish she often favored, Lucille was fire, full of vibrance, and ablaze with life. Someone who carried her own light. The first thing you will notice about Lucille is the genial smile she perpetually wore. She was walking happiness, full of kindness, humility, and the kind of overflowing love that only a beloved grandmother could possess. She loved everyone. And everyone loved her. Now her light will shine somewhere else. I hope she makes time to peek down on us, maybe check in to see that we are all doing well, and that she has nothing to worry about. In her loving memory and example, we will love with all our hearts, live life to the fullest, and be the kindest we can be so that when it's our time, we will be good enough to see her again. With Much Love and Sympathy, "The Girls" who kept her nails pretty and red. Avy & Mya

Lucille worked alongside me as my library assistant at Orchard Valley back in the late 1990’s. She was a class act, from the way she dressed to the way she interacted with the students. I loved when she worked for me in retirement as a substitute. While I haven’t seen Lucille in many years, I would often think of her from time to time. What a great lady…may she rest in peace.

Dear Jim, Doreen, James and family, We were saddened to hear of Lucille’s passing. Rich and Lucille grew up in Camden, and Doreen first met Lucille in the early 1960s at our hairdresser Nettie & Rick’s on Haddon Avenue in Camden. Years later when Jim and Rich were both active in education, beautiful Lucille informed us she first heard Doreen’s name at our hairdresser, liked it and named her own daughter Doreen. Well, to this day Lucille’s joyous personality and kind words still bring happy tears to our eyes. Indeed Lucille, a special lady, was a bright light in our lives. Sincere sympathy, Richard and Doreen Salimena

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

What a beautiful person ! ❤️

My thoughts and prayers are to all of you during this time. I feel so lucky to have known Lu for so long and for her to be like another grandmom to me. She had the most contagious laugh and smile. I will always cherish our times together down in Sea Isle. She will be greatly missed!!

Jim, I am so sorry to hear about your Lulu. Although I did not know her, she must have been a wonderful person to have such a considerate husband, as you. My sympathy to you.

Mrs. Anzide (Mrs. A.) was the true definition of a beautiful person. I was blessed to have known her since I was a student at Orchard Valley Middle School many moons ago. I had the honor of getting to know Mrs. A. and absolutely loved her. She was always kind, upbeat, thoughtful, and just a stellar human being. Mrs. A. will truly be missed, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to have had my life enriched by knowing her. Sending many blessings to Mr. A. and to the family.

To the Anzide Family, Sending love and sincerest sympathy for the death of your Mother and Grandmother. I knew Jim Anzide as a friend of my daughter, Christine and then had the great pleasure of having John Meo in my first grade class. The Anzides were always there for any and all family days we had a Bells School. She was a wonderful person and a devoted Mother and Grandmother. May she rest in eternal peace. Rosemary Ward Camiolo
