Bernadette Marie Byrne

Bernadette Marie Byrne, passed away peacefully on July 14, 2024, in Marlton, NJ. Born on September 15, 1954, in Philadelphia, PA, she moved to Camden, NJ at age 14, and soon after settled in Pennsauken, NJ. Bernadette's life was one marked by love, kindness, and creativity. She brought light and joy to everyone she encountered, and her passing leaves a void that will be deeply felt by all who knew her. Bernadette spent over 30 years as a dedicated employee at Murphy and Read Spring Manufacturing Co., where her commitment and hard work were evident to all. She was not only a loyal employee but also an active participant in various associations related to her work, always eager to lend a helping hand and share her expertise. Outside of her professional life, Bernadette was an effervescent and sociable spirit who found great joy in dancing. Her love for animals knew no bounds, but it was horses that truly captured her heart. She devoted much of her time to working with them at the Garden State Racetrack, a passion that was both a hobby and a source of great fulfillment. Bernadette's family was the cornerstone of her world. She is survived by her beloved husband of twenty-one years, Timothy Byrne, who will cherish her memory as a loving partner and best friend. She also leaves behind her devoted son, Jay Rossi (Marta), who will continue to honor her legacy through his own life. Though she is now reunited with her late mother, Florence Endres; her brother, Stephen Endres Rossi; and other family members who have passed before her, Bernadette's presence will forever be missed by her surviving brothers, Richard Endres (Gail), Kenneth Rossi (Lydia), and Ronald Rossi, as well as her sisters, Patricia Forster, Cynthia Martinez, Deborah Fitzpatrick, Colleen Rossi, and Ramona Perkins (George), godson, Michael Rossi and beloved aunt to numerous nieces and nephews. Those who had the pleasure of knowing Bernadette will remember her as a loving and kind soul, whose creativity shone through in every aspect of her life. Her ability to see beauty in the world and in the people around her was unparalleled, and she had a unique talent for making each moment special and memorable. Bernadette's life was a testament to the power of positive energy and the impact one person can have on so many. She will be remembered not only for her accomplishments and passions but for the warmth and love she radiated. Her spirit, though no longer in physical form, will continue to inspire and guide those who were fortunate enough to have been touched by her grace and generosity. As we bid farewell to Bernadette Marie Byrne, we take solace in the fact that her life was one well-lived, filled with moments of joy, laughter, and an abundance of love. Her story does not end here, for it carries on in the hearts and memories of her family, friends, and all who were graced by her presence. Bernadette may have left this world, but her spirit will forever dance among us, as vibrant and beautiful as ever. Relatives and friends are invited to attend Bernadette's memorial visitation on July 20,2024 from 10am-12pm with a memorial service to follow at Inglesby and Sons Funeral Home, located at 2426 Cove Rd., Pennsauken, NJ 08109.
