Please Join Us on September 11th for the Unveiling of the Swedesboro 911 Memorial
Our 911 Memorial is scheduled to be completed this week so we are going to have our first
Annual 911 Memorial Ceremony at 6:30 on September 11, 2024. The Memorial is located on
the traffic bump-out on Kings Highway at the Auburn Road intersection.
The Memorial has been constructed by local companies who have donated their time to build
what we believe is a fitting honor to the victims of 911 and the heroes who responded to the
horrific event.
Our Ceremony will start at 6:30 and include brief comments by local officials, the Kingsway
Marching Band and our guest speaker James Shew, a Woolwich Fire Company member who
traveled to Ground Zero to help in rescue operations.
Please join us for the unveiling of our long-awaited Memorial and help us start an annual
tradition in 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.
