- Welcome to Daley Life Celebration Studio, where we Celebrate the Color of Life.
Wendy Beckett
If Woolwich Township or Swedesboro had a need, Wendy was always there to fill it. She ran the annual Swedesboro Christmas Parade, was the Vice President of the Greater Swedesboro Business Assoc., and headed the Kings Things Holiday Food Drive. This is just to name a few of the million things she was involved in. Of course, her dedication to her family was no different: she coached soccer, basketball, softball and was active with both the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts. Wendy loved sharing her talents in arts and crafts through her programs at Seaville Shores Campground and Pine Haven Campground as well as with her grandkids. She spent over 30 years doing the books at Swedesboro True Value. When her kids were born, she had them right next to her desk in a playpen. When she was injured on another job, she worked from home to make sure everything continued to run smoothly. Also, she worked as a crossing guard for the Woolwich Police Department for the past 18 years and her earlier years found her driving a bus for Walt’s Bus Service. She was a lifetime member of Bethesda United Methodist Church.
She’d meet a handsome guy named Dean who was a year ahead of her at Kingsway. The high school sweethearts married and shared a 41 year marriage blessed by children, Cliff (Stephanie) of Logan Twp, Jennifer (Keith) of Woolwich Twp and Brett (Presley) of Woolwich Twp and grandchildren, Chloe, Colin, and Kaylynn. She is survived by her mother, Evelyn Winter; of Woolwich Twp and her sisters, Dr. Donna (Russ) Coco of Staley, NC and Brenda (David) Buechler of Woolwich Twp. She was pre-deceased by her father, Willard and her brother, Wayne.
Come celebrate 62 great years Wednesday 6-8 p.m. at Daley Life Celebration Studio, Swedesboro. Donations in lieu of flowers to Greater Swedesboro Business Assoc., P.O. Box 235, Swedesboro 08085 or Woolwich Fire Company 1517 Kings Highway, Swedesboro will be appreciated. A portion of the donations to the Greater Swedesboro Business Association will go towards the Wayne Winter Scholarship in honor of her late brother.

I have a lot of great memories of Wendy. The one that keeps going through my mind is how she would show up at the track with a huge bowl of cut up watermelon. She will be missed.

Wendy will be missed in the community she was always ready to help out. We worked many years together on different projects. I called Wendy at True Value last week and she ordered 2 light fixtures for me which came in a week ago Friday. Wendy worked with the Christmas Program for many years at Kings Things. Rest in Peace my Friend

I so enjoyed talking with both Wendy and Dean at the campground. Loved collecting little trinkets for her to help with her upcoming arts and crafts she had planned for the kids. Such a great person. Gone too soon. Your family is in my prayers.

I’m glad I had the opportunity to work and laugh and joke with Wendy at the Sunflower and Tulip events at Dalton Farms. She was a kind woman with a lot of heart and soul. She will be missed. Sending my condolences to all of Wendy’s family with love.
Dear Dean, Cliff, Jennifer, Brett and families, We were so sorry to hear of Wendy’s untimely passing. We have been friends since kindergarten and had remained that way through the years. She called me Mashed Potatoes and I called her Wintergreen, such terms of endearment. She stopped at my home one day to let me know she was going to be a Grandmom. She was so excited! When she heard I was going to be a Grandmom, she was just as excited for me! We never lost touch through the years. I would stop at True Value and see her. I remember when she had her children in the playpen next to her desk. She was so devoted to everyone and everything. Always so kind and so helpful! She truly would give her shirt off of her back to help someone in need! To say the least, I am so sad to lose such a true friend. God speed Wendy, you will sorely be missed. Love, Ed and Steph (Massimino) Henry

I just learned of Wendy’s passing. Our kids (Brett & Devin) were classmates and friends. Wendy and I became acquainted thru them. We always joked that we were the Wendy’s of Woolwich, but she was the real Wendy. I have moved a few states away now, but am no less saddened by her passing. Prayers for her family and love to the entire Woolwich community who will feel this loss for a long time. God speed Wendy, fly high.
My sympathy to Wendy’s Family. We were friends as children when I would visit my grandparents. I remember being in a fashion show with her at Bethesda.
Wendy was so helpful when my sons joined BSA Troop 13 in the late 90’s. She treated everyone she met like a dear friend. I will miss seeing her around town. My condolences to the entire family. RIP dear friend.
