Millville – Carol Ann Gregory, age 66 of Millville, passed away Tuesday morning February 25, 2020 at Inspria Medical Center Vineland, as her devoted husband James A. Gregory held her hand.
Carol, known to her family as Sis or Sissy, was born in Princeton to Thomas and Helen Taft. She grew up in nearby Hightstown, graduating from Hightstown High in 1971.

Carol loved her family deeply, spending many summer weekends with as many as she could at the family lake house on Wrighter Lake in Thompson, Pennsylvania. Carol and Jim, along with their daughter Melissa, traveled often to celebrate anniversaries, birthdays and pretty much any kind of sporting event, with Philadelphia Eagles games as her favorite.
