Carol Lee Britton

October 15, 2020

Carol Lee Britton, 71, a life long resident of Carneys Point passed away on October 15, 2020. Born December 27, 1948 in Salem, NJ, she was the daughter of Martin and Lenore Cleary. She married Ralph L. Britton on March 22, 1968. They were married for 52 years. Carol graduated from Penns Grove High School. She started working at DuPont Chambers Works in Deepwater, NJ shortly after graduating. She decided to start their family, leaving the workforce while starting and raising their two sons. Carol loved watching her sons playing baseball and, later in high school, attending all of their track meets. Carol also loved watching her son Christopher finish his first marathon and Ironman Triathlon. Just when Carol thought that she would always be a Mom Mom wanna be, her son Jeffrey told her that she would be a grandparent. Her first grandson was the new love of her life (Munchkin). Then a couple of years passed and she was gifted with grandson #2 who had a rough beginning. He was born on March 17th so he had the luck of the Irish with him and a lot of help from God. Carol used to bowl in two leagues, loved doing cross stitch and ceramics. She loved camping and the people she met and referred to as the MB Gang. Carol is survived by her husband Ralph, sons Jeffrey (Jennifer) and Christopher, grandsons Spencer and Parker, brothers Charles (Ginny) of Pennsville, NJ and Robert (Gloria) of Myrtle Beach, SC and sister Judy of Cincinnati, OH. She was predeceased by her mother, father, and several aunts and uncles. A memorial service to celebrate Carol's life will be held on Thursday, October 22, 2020 at Emmanuel Methodist Church, 174 S. Broad Street, Penns Grove, NJ 08069. There will be a visitation beginning at 10 AM followed by the service at 11 AM.
