Bertha Elizabeth Jones - Carr

Bert Jones-Carr was the life of the party. The rock of her family, and she took care of… everyone! A Gloucester girl, right down to her bones, who was a friend to all and found a lifetime of fun along the way.

When you never slow down, you never grow old. Bert enjoyed traveling, cruising, the boardwalk, and casinos, and filling her days taking care of her family. Road trips and travel allowed her to see the world the way she wanted to.

On Saturday, September 6, 2025, Bertha E. (nee Dick) Jones-Carr peacefully passed into the arms of her Savior after 89 blessed years.

Bert was born in Bellmawr to the late Caroline and Raymond Dick and had been a lifelong Gloucester Girl. She was a dedicated and contributing member of the Gloucester City American Legion Post, 135, as well as the Gloucester City VFW Post 3620. Bert made her career as a Credit Supervisor at Chrysler in Marlton. She also enjoyed spending time with friends at The Sportsman Athletic Club with her husband Jim.
