Cynthia (Chapman) Anderson

Point Pleasant Beach - Cynthia (Chapman) Anderson, 84, formerly of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on May 7, 2020.

Born in Elizabeth and raised in Irvington, Cynthia graduated from Irvington High School. She met Don, the love of her life, at Olympic Park in Newark. They married in 1957 and moved to Point Pleasant Beach to raise their family, where they lived for 48 years before moving to Brick in 2014.

Cynthia spent the majority of her career at the Borough Hall of Point Pleasant Beach, which she loved. She began as a Clerk Typist and worked her way up to ultimately be appointed as Municipal Tax Collector. She retired in 1997, only to return a few years later and then retire again in 2007.

She was an avid sports fan, a crossword puzzle enthusiast, and never missed her afternoon glass of wine. For more than 40 years, she enjoyed monthly poker games with her Point Pleasant Beach Booster friends and frequently met for lunches in Lavallette with her high school friends. More than anything, Cynthia was a proud mother and grandma whose greatest joy in life was spending time with her family. She was loved by many and will be missed tremendously.

She is survived by her husband of 63 years, Donald, and her sister, Nancy Rossnagel. She is also survived by her four children and their spouses: Donald Anderson and Maureen of Edison, NJ; Jeanne Itak and Stephen of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ; James Anderson and Patricia of Toms River, NJ, Allison Anderson and Brian Halbe of Wall, NJ as well as 8 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

Cynthia will be laid to rest at St. Catherine's Mausoleum, Sea Girt, NJ at a later date.

In her memory, donations can be made to Point Pleasant Beach High School, Garnet Gulls Booster Association, 700 Trenton Ave., Point Pleasant Beach, NJ 08742. Van Hise and Callagan Funeral Home, 812 Arnold Ave, Pt. Pleasant Beach is in charge of arrangements. Condolences can be sent to the family at www.vanhisecallagan.com

I met Cynthia a couple times when I worked at Bendix with her husband, Don. He was a great boss and mentor for many of us in the Engineering department, and after Bendix/Allied closed we would get together for lunch occasionally. He was always talking about her and their kids. Condolences and prayers to the Anderson family for your loss.

Cynthia was the ultimate lady!! When Cynthia met my Donnie, I didn't like her because when I grew up my Donnie was going to marry me!! As time went on, I grew up and realized you don't marry your cousin. I soon realized Cynthia was the BEST Lady for my Donnie. Our entire family just loved her and everything she stood for. God be with you Cynthia, till we all meet again. Andy, Jeanne, Jimmy and Allison, I send my condolences, I'm sure all the wonderful memories will help you as time goes on. I'm sending my love to all......Cousin Carol

Aunt Cynthia was my godmother; she was always there for me with advice and a quick laugh. I will cherish the times I spent with her and Uncle Don when I was young as well as the many memories of family gatherings during the summer and holidays. She was a wonderful lady and will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to my cousins and Uncle Don.

Aunt Cynthia was a wonderful lady. I will always remember our family times going to the beach, then back to the house for showers, and eating Jersey Mikes Subs for supper. I looked forward to that every summer!!
