Summer 2011
 Judy Baker passed away on Wednesday, July 27, 2011 in her home with her brother at her side, and her daughter, Emily, and her friend, Donna, in the next room. Judy just went to sleep and never woke up. This evidently followed a karaoke party the night before with her girlfriends and Emily baking in the kitchen.

Thanks to everyone who supported Judy over the years with donations, well wishes, prayers, dinners, friendship and bedside care. Judy fought a brave battle and won, leaving behind to all that knew her many happy memories and showing the world that we need to live life to its fullest everyday, to tell our loved ones how we feel about them, and to keep a positive attitude, never losing faith even knowing that the end is near. Click here to read "Letters to Judy" written by her friends last October 2010.
July 4th is always a special day in Woodstown as the entire town takes part in Salem County's biggest Independence Day celebration. While many people around the country wonder were to go to celebrate, the residents of Woodstown and Pilesgrove know that they can't do better than to stay in their little town and enjoy the festivities.
If you missed this year's festivities, you might enjoy an article written by Ann Waterman, "Celebrating Independence Day in Small Town, U.S.A."
