Francis M. Reitz, 98, of West Deptford, NJ and Dunedin, Fl. passed away peacefully of natural causes on July 5, 2025.
Francis was predeceased by her beloved husband, Bruce W. Reitz Sr. She is survived by her devoted sons, Bruce (Susan) and Randy (Yvonne); her loving sister, Edna Penders; her cherished grandchildren, Christie (Bryan) McGough and Steven (Jordana) Reitz; and her adored great-grandchildren, Cole and Reese. She also leaves behind many beloved nieces and nephews, all of whom held a special place in her heart.
Francis lived a full and joyful life. She graduated from Woodbury High School and worked at Bell Telephone and the Gloucester County Sheriff’s office. She had a passion for bridge, a love of Ocean City and Clearwater beaches, and an affection for the music of Frank Sinatra. But above all, Francis loved her family — they were the true center of her world.
The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to Mary Saad and her team at Brightview in Marlton for their exceptional care, kindness, and companionship in Francis’s final years.
Her legacy of love, laughter, and strength will live on in all who knew her.
The family will host a private celebration of life in September.
In lieu of flowers and Memorial Trees, contributions in her memory can be made to: Vitality Hospice 1670 Route 34, Suite 3A, Wall Township, NJ 07727.
