It is with deepest regret and sadness I announce the passing of my father, Ronald Terry Broomall, age 73 of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, formerly of The City of Bridgeton, the City of Vineland, and Upper Deerfield Township, New Jersey. Ronald, known by many as Terry, entered into enteral life on Thursday, September 26, 2019, and was preceded in death by his brother, Max Broomall, and then by his father and mother, Maximilian and Ruth Broomall (nee Scheyhing). Ronald was also preceded in death by his wife, Virginia Francis Broomall (nee: Scarpa), who recently passed away on Thursday, September 19, 2019.

Born in Cumberland County, New Jersey, Terry was a long time resident of the area until he moved to Gatlinburg, Tennessee with his lifelong wife of 43 forty-three years, Virginia Francis Broomall (nee: Scarpa), who was known to most as Ginny. Terry resided with Ginny at their residence with their 2 dogs and was visited often by their family and friends. Terry is survived by son, Ronald Francis Broomall, his daughter in-law, Aileen Marie Broomall (nee: Otero), and his 3 three grandchildren, Matthew Francis, Arden Margaret, Alita Michele, as well as his daughter, Lisa Marie Broomall and her companion, Scott Leaper . Terry is also survived by his sister, Margaret Anna Johnson (nee: Broomall), and several nieces and nephews.

In the earlier years of his life, Terry was a graduate of Bridgeton High School in Bridgeton, New Jersey. After graduating, Terry enlisted into the service of the United State Coast Guard and served several years at the rank/grade of SR(E-1) before being honorably discharged.  Terry returned home to his place of birth and entered into training for the New Jersey State Police, graduating in 1970 and retiring in 1996 at the rank of Sergeant, with his last post at the Hammonton Barracks. During these years, Terry meets his wife, who he spent many happy years with and during those years, fathered his children, Ronald and Lisa.  After retiring from the New Jersey State Police, Terry continued to work by obtaining employment at the City of Vineland Municipal Court as their Court Officer.  After leaving, Terry finally ended his work career at the Bridgeton Board of Education as an Education Enforcement Officer, with his last post at West Avenue School. After finally retiring from the work force, Terry moved to the Gatlinburg area with Ginny and took enjoyment in the time he spent with her, as well as the time he was able to have with his children and grandchildren when they came to visit.

Above all, Terry enjoyed life the most by spending time with his family and friends but found the best enjoyment in talking to his grandchildren over the telephone when it was not possible for them to come and visit. Although busy at many points in his life, Terry was a very loving and devoted husband, as well as a very loving father to his son and daughter throughout the years regardless of the obstacles in life. It can't be said enough, Terry was a great law enforcement officer, a wonderful father and grandparent, and will be missed deeply by his family and friends.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend Terry's funeral on Thursday October 17, 2019 at Barr Funeral Home, 2104 East Main Street in Millville. The family will receive visitors from 10 AM until 12 Noon with the funeral service at 12 Noon. Burial will follow in Overlook Cemetery.
