Elizabeth Infante

Elizabeth "Betty" Infante passed away peacefully and with the loving care of her family and devoted husband Michael by her side on Wednesday, September 11, 2024, at the Serenity Hospice Unit at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in Hamilton, NJ.

Born on November 18, 1948 in Allentown, NJ, Betty was a lifelong area resident and lived most of her life in Cream Ridge, NJ. She and her husband met on a blind date and on the second date he asked her to marry him, and they were inseparable thereafter. They worked side by side farming, selling produce at farm markets and later working on a school bus where she was Michael’s bus aid. While he was the driver, Betty provided compassionate care to special needs children. Other jobs she held were related to the food service industry. She was well known for her cooking, canning, and baking cookies and pies for the holidays. She loved Christmas and decorating her house inside and out. Betty enjoyed trips with her husband to Parx Casino, but her favorite place to go was Disney World. She took trips almost annually with her son, daughter-in-law and grandson over the years to Orlando. Betty was a loving and devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.

Betty was the daughter of the late Elizabeth Rinyu. She is survived by her husband of more than 57 years, Michael L. Infante; her daughter, Michelle Casella (husband Ben) and son, Rocco Infante (wife Carol); three cherished grandsons, Ben Jr. (fiancé Alexis), Jason, and Dominick.

A visitation with the family will be held from 9 to 11am, with a service starting at 11 on Wednesday, September 18th at Peppler Funeral Home, 114 S. Main St., Allentown.  Inurnment will follow in Cream Ridge Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in the name of Elizabeth Infante to Tunnels to Towers at Donate to Tunnel to Towers Foundation (t2t.org) to help Gold Star and fallen first responder families.
