Swedesboro

The Borough flags have been lowered to half staff in honor of Margaret Morrison, a former
Assistant Borough Clerk in Swedesboro, and so much more.

Margaret was not born in Swedesboro but boy did she leave her mark on our town, her home for over 75 years. She moved here when she attended Swedesboro High School (Class of 1951), and she never left. Margaret and her late husband Walt shared a 40-year marriage in which they were blessed with 5 children.

Margaret had a bunch of different jobs over the years to support her growing family – at Sony Records, as a dental assistant for several area dentists, at Valley and Bowe and for Frank Centrion Produce Brokerage. And finally, she took on the role of Assistant Borough Clerk in Swedesboro. I have been able to obtain some valuable historical knowledge during my conversations and she shared some very entertaining stories about her time in Borough Hall, always with a smile and hearty laugh.

Margaret was always on the move, usually with her best buddy Judy, and she had a very active retirement. They were always more than willing to provide me with their unfiltered opinions on everything related to our town, and almost always with a smile. It was always nice to see and talk to her when she was relaxing out on her porch that was right behind Borough Hall. I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago and she was in good spirits, it was a great conversation as always.

Margaret was a wonderful woman and a great friend of Swedesboro and she will be missed.

I have ordered the Borough flags to be lowered to half-staff in honor of William E. Dupper,
Sr., a lifelong resident of Swedesboro who passed away August 2, 2024.

Bill was the epitome of a Swedesboro resident. He attended Swedesboro High School,
served in the United States Navy during the Korean War and was a local business owner,
operating the Dupper’s Amoco Station in Swedesboro. He also served his community as a
Woolwich Township Special Police Officer, was a member of the former Lions Club of
Swedesboro, and was the maintenance coordinator for the Swedesboro-Woolwich Twp.
District.

Bill was also an active member of his church community. He was a dedicated member of
St. Clare of Assisi Parish where he served as a Eucharistic Minister. Bill was a founding
member of Kings Things Christian Thrift Store and instrumental in starting Kings Things
Food Pantry.

The Borough of Swedesboro offers our sincere condolences to Bill’s wife of 63 years
Carolyn Slusar Dupper as well as the entire Dupper family.

Thomas Fromm — Mayor of Swedesboro
