The In Memoriam list of Cherry Hill West’s Class of 69 is sadly way too long.

Regrettably, we have good reasons to suspect the following names may need to be added. But we have yet to find an official record, like a published obituary or death notice, or a listing in the Social Security Death Index, that can be tied directly to our classmate. Please let us know ASAP if you have more information, especially if  you’re sure is someone listed still alive, by emailing CHHSW69 (at) gmail.com.

Ruth Houck Nielsen Residents at her last address in Oaklyn, NJ, said in late 2018 that she died two years before.

Jamie Stephen Payne In this case, we did find records, but were they for the right person? The names of kin (mother Lena, sisters Gloria and Eva) listed in the Denton Chronicle-Record’s obit don’t seem to match. But the Death Index does tie this fellow to New Jersey in 1968-69.

NAME: Jamie Stephen Payne
LAST RESIDENCE: Texas
BORN: 22 Mar 1951
DIED: 26 Jun 2010
STATE (YEAR) SSN ISSUED: New Jersey (1968-1969)

Sharon Horn Fleming Now confirmed. See her In Memoriam page.

Denise Martorana Wacker Now looks confirmed. Her sister’s husband’s office said that Denise, who lived in South Jersey, died about 2004. No obit found, but “Find a Grave” seems to confirm (birth year, middle initial, year of death all fit).
