Brick - Marie Cronin-Hull, 80, of Brick passed away on June 17, 2021 at home surrounded by family and friends. A cancer survivor, she succumbed to ALS after a valiant struggle. She was born in Camden and was a resident of Brick for almost sixty years. Marie graduated from Camden Catholic High School and received her Bachelor of Arts in English and Education from Glassboro State College (now Rowan University). In 1963, she began a teaching career in Brick Township that spanned thirty-nine years in the Upper Elementary School, Lake Riviera Middle School and Brick Memorial High School.

Marie was a devout Catholic and a parishioner of the Church of the Sacred Heart in Bay Head. An avid sports woman, she enjoyed water sports, snow skiing, and tennis. In later years she was an award-winning golfer who participated in many tournaments and won prizes especially for long distance shots. In addition, she was a consummate poker player who belonged to two poker clubs.

Marie was a kind and caring person who gave generously of her time and talents to others. She opened her home to aging relatives and later to foreign exchange students with whom she maintained lifelong friendships.

Marie lived a rich and full life. She was the devoted wife of Bob (Robert) Hull. Her happiest days were shared with him during their 39 years of marriage. She loved travel, watching tennis and golf, viewing the sailboats and waterfowl from her home on the Metedeconk River, celebrating her Irish/Polish heritage, spending time at her condo in Florida, dining out, playing with computer gadgets and caring for animals, often adopting dogs overlooked because of age or disability.

Marie was predeceased by her parents Robert Emmet Cronin and Mary Koska Cronin, her husband, Bob Hull, and two brothers, Robert Neil Cronin and Timothy Cronin. She is survived by her sister Patricia Van Gilder, two sisters-in-law, cousins, fourteen nieces and nephews, many friends and two canine companions Missy and Mickey whom she treasured.

The family would like to thank the nurses and caregivers who cared for Marie in her final months and the many friends who came to visit.

A funeral mass will be celebrated on June 26, 2021 at 1pm at the Church of the Sacred Heart in Bay Head. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that those who wish to remember Marie consider donations to the Joan Dancy & PALS Foundation, http://joandancyandpals.org/how-to-help/ or another charity of their choice.
