Marianne Cramer, 78, of Toms River, NJ, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.

Born in Lakewood, NJ, she was a lifelong resident of Toms River, NJ. Marianne was a Telephone Operator for the Ocean County Court House in Toms River.

She is a member of the Island Heights United Methodist Church. Marianne loved to be surrounded by family and friends and enjoy the simple things in life such as chit-chatting over coffee, always making people smile and laugh along the way.

Marianne could light up any room she walked into with a twinkle in her eye, a beautiful cheerful smile, warmth in her soul, a comforting gentle touch, and a contagious laugh!

Everyone always wanted to be around Sissy because she brought out the best in everyone and they felt the love and joy she radiated.

She had a way about her that could make an ordinary moment feel so magical. She left her mark on everyone she crossed paths with.

She was always dressed glamorously from head to toe to leave the house with her outfit picked, and her hair & makeup on point! She loved her shopping, glitter and sparkle!

She is a true gem of a human with such a charastmatic spirit. Marianne has such a wonderful, kind, supportive, loving soul. She is a one-of-a-kind devoted wife, mother, grandmother sister, aunt, Gigi (great grandmother) and friend.

Marianne was a true angel on Earth and will be missed dearly.

She is preceded in death by her daughter Paula Cramer, her son Brian Cramer, and her parents, Harold and Bernadine (Hyres) Asay.

Marianne will be forever held in the hearts of her loving family; her beloved husband Paul Cramer, daughter Sheryl Carracino, daughter-in-law Christine Cramer, her brother William and his wife Darlene Asay, sister Sonja Seaman, four grandchildren; Courtney and her husband Michael Iafelice, Matthew Carracino and his significant other Sierra Turner, Ashley Cramer, and Mason Cramer, four great grandchildren; Ava Iafelice, Olivia Iafelice, Chase Iafelice, and

Scarlett Carracino, as well as a wealth of loving extended family and friends.

Your memory is our keepsake

With which we’ll never part

God has you in his Kingdom

We have you in our hearts.

Marianne’s wishes were for no services.

Immediate family will have an intimate gathering to celebrate her beautiful life.
