RIP "Sandy "Sandra Bartlett Obituary- services June 10

Sandra “Sandy” Ann Bartlett (née Graham), of Midland Park, NJ, and formerly of Ridgewood, passed away peacefully on May 25, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on December 18, 1939, in Trenton, NJ, to Harry Edward Graham and Helen Joseph (née McCloskey). Harry’s work relocated the family to Panama while he worked on the canal before settling in Texas. Sandy identified as a proud Texan, graduating from Brazosport High School in Freeport, Texas. In 1961, she earned a degree in Social Work from Saint Mary’s College located in Notre Dame, Indiana. During her time at Saint Mary’s, Sandy met William Charles Bartlett, whom she married. Together, they shared 63 years of marriage.

After completing her Social Work degree, Sandy dedicated herself to creating a welcoming and supportive home—not only for her own growing family, but for others in need. She frequently opened her doors to foster children, friends of her children, foreign exchange students, Up with People performers, and anyone who found themselves down on their luck. Throughout their moves from Chicago to Maine and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Sandy’s warmth and hospitality left a lasting impression on many. She was known for signing notes and cards “love Mom 2” for those who sought comfort and refuge in the Bartlett home.

Sandy was an active member of her community participating in Jamboree and College Club Capers. As a parishioner at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church, she served for many years as a Eucharistic Minister. Sandy also served as a long-time crossing guard in the Village of Ridgewood. Additionally, she was a member of various Bridge groups, where she and her husband Bill formed enduring friendships.

Sandy is survived by her children: Barbara Bartlett Gomes, Bill III (Monika), son-in-law Ralph Stanton, Jacquie Luthcke (Wayne), and Chris (Valerie). She was a proud grandmother to Derrick Stanton, Elena Bartlett (fiancée Matt Heale), Andrew Gomes (Tylee), Caitlyn Gensure (Steve), Bill Bartlett IV, Rebecca Bartlett, and Dana Gomes. Sandy was also the great-grandmother of Madison Greene, Dylan and Casey Gensure, and Carson, Colton, and Liliana Gomes. Her brothers, Dr. David Graham (Dr. Janet Butel) and Brian Graham (Jane Churchill), also survive her. Sandy was predeceased by her husband, parents, and daughter Cindy Stanton.

Sandy was adamant that her body be donated to science. As such, the family will hold a memorial service on June 10th between 3 and 6 pm, at Feeney Funeral Home in Ridgewood to honor her memory. https://feeneyfuneralhome.tributecenteronline.com/obituaries/Sandra-Bartlett?obId=48518617 In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Sandy Bartlett’s honor may be made to The Lupus Foundation at http://support.lupus.org/goto/SandyBartlett

Dr. Anne Catherine Robinson (Videtti), 66, passed away on January 26th, 2026 with her loving family by her side.

!! RHS Alumna
The loss and the words cannot be described in such a small space
May God keep the family close in a warm embrace

Daughter of the late Nicholas and Linda Videtti, Anne was born in Padova, Italy. She celebrated her 2nd birthday with her family on a ship returning to the United States. She spent happy years in Bayonne, NJ, surrounded by extended family, before moving to Ridgewood, NJ, where she spent most of her childhood.

She attended Willard Elementary School, George Washington Middle School, Ridgewood High School, and Wesleyan University. It is at Wesleyan University where she met Dennis, the love of her life. They were married the summer after her senior year, and 45 years later, their marriage was a testament to the saying “when you know, you know.”

Anne received her MD from Baylor College of Medicine, as one of only a few women in her class. She studied under renowned physicians, including the pioneering cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. Michael DeBakey, and she stood out for her incredible strength, intelligence, compassion, and drive. She completed her residency in pediatrics at Dallas Children’s Hospital.

Anne and Dennis returned to Ridgewood, NJ, where they raised their three children. Family was the center of Anne’s life, and she felt blessed that her children could grow up alongside their aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents, gathering every Sunday at her childhood home in Ridgewood. Not only did Anne have strong family ties in Ridgewood and the surrounding area, but she also built a wonderful community of friends and colleagues, from her sideline days cheering on the Maroons to her most recent endeavor to preserve Ridgewood history with the RHS Arrow.

Anne spent her life nurturing, teaching, caring, and advocating for children and families, first as a physician at Valley Pediatrics, and later as a volunteer pediatrician with NOVA Hope for Haiti, the Bergen Volunteer Medical Initiative, and Raphael’s Life House, a branch of Covenant House where 18-21 year old pregnant women and mothers can seek food, shelter, safety, and education. She believed that one of her most important jobs as a pediatrician was to empower and encourage children’s parents, reminding them that they are their children’s first teachers and most important champions.

Over the last 15+ years, Anne was a tireless advocate for student health and wellbeing in the Ridgewood Public Schools and across the state of New Jersey. She was a member of the NJ American Academy of Pediatrics Task Force on Adolescent Sleep & School Start Time and Vice Chair of the Health Advisory Board at WholeHealthED. Her leadership and the “Smart Balance” team led Ridgewood, along with other districts across New Jersey, to enact policy changes, including later school start times, that put the health and wellbeing of students first.

Anne was a force. She lived with joy and gratitude, treating each day as a celebration of life. She brought profound love and endless energy to everything she did, and especially to her role as Mom and beloved “Nonni” to her grandchildren. She was who you wanted by your side in the happy times and in your corner in the hard ones. To know her was to love her.

Anne is survived by her husband Dennis, her children Emily (Jason), Michael (Lia), and Catherine, as well as her cherished grandchildren Theo, Henry, and Denny.

A mass will be held at Mount Carmel Church on Monday, February 2nd at 10:00 AM followed by a celebration of her life at Park West Tavern from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Friends and family are welcome to attend.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Anne’s name may be made to Table to Table ( www.tabletotable.org ) or Raphael’s Life House ( www.covenanthousenj.org/find-support/raphaels-life-house)

Betsy Murphy’s kids called Jamboree her 9th child! Dancer and Producer
Mass of resurrection at St Elizabeth’s Wyckoff 11 am Saturday 10th January

Elizabeth Ann Sweeny Murphy Sparrow, age 98, of Wyckoff, New Jersey, passed away peacefully at home. She was born on November 23, 1927, in White Plains, New York, the daughter of William Aloysius Sweeny and Anna Eugenia Carbrey. Elizabeth, known to all who loved her as Betsy, was one of four children and was predeceased by her siblings William, Eugene, and Patricia.

In the early 1950s, Betsy worked as a copywriter for Time-Life, developing a love of language and storytelling that would carry through her life. She married Robert E. Murphy in 1952, and together they raised their family with devotion controlled chaos and humor. The family moved to Ridgewood in 1971, where Betsy built a warm and lively household for her children.
