Dear Croge Family
We are deeply sorry for the loss of Aunt Ann, we remember her fondly because of her kind and fun spirit (she was a riot at Harry’s 50th!)
Due to the fact that Harry is extremely sick we weren’t able to be with you as you said good bye and we are extremely sad that we could not assist but please receive our deepest condolences for your loss.
All our love to you

Mrs. Croge was an amazing person. Everyday she was able to put a smile on your face and brighten up your day. I’m going to miss seeing her everyday..❤️
So sad to hear of this. A lot of my happy high school memories include Ann. What a nice, compassionate, funny and all around phenomenal human being. My sympathy and condolences to her family.
Ann and I were neighbors but were not aware of it until we were invited to join a group of Delran teachers who played cards once a month. We immediately “clicked”. Many evenings we saw the sun set and rise after many hours of laughter. Time flies when your having fun and we did have fun. It was our time. Eventually, our group grew from six to eleven. Ann was caring, innovated, understanding and wonderful to all the teens she interacted with on a daily basis. Ann remained young at heart while employed at Delran High School. Just last week, my nephew who graduated two years ago stated “Oh, Mrs. Croge she’s the best. Everyone likes Mrs. Croge.” She loved animals and cared for many of the neighborhood cats. With the growth of our children “card club” drifted apart but many memories remain and are comforting at our age. Hats off to you Ann, a young 80 year old who made the best lemon blueberry bread I ever ate. 🙏🏻❤️
She was one of my favorite adults in high school. She always had a welcoming smile and was so friendly. She was a friendly face that I looked for daily. Please accept my condolences. God Bless
When friends are family, their family also becomes family. This is how we came to know Ann. She made us feel like we knew each other for years right from the start. Wine glass in hand, smile on her face and always interested in anything we had to say. Ann was so very kind to our daughter & treated her just like one of her own grandchildren whenever she was around. Her sense of humor, kindness and, free spirit will be missed!
Our deepest condolences, Chuck, to you and your family at this time. Sending love.
