Roberta M. Bamrick (née Carse), 94, entered eternal life on August 29, 2021 surrounded by her loving family in Continuing Care at The Gardens, Seabrook Village, Tinton Falls. Roberta, lovingly referred to as “Bert” “Bobbie” “Grandma Bobbie” and “Grammie”, was born and raised in Kearny, NJ before moving to Spotswood, NJ with her husband Gerald to raise their family. After Gerald’s death, Roberta moved to Howell, NJ, then settled at Seabrook Village in Tinton Falls, NJ where she lived independently for the past 17 years. Nursing was a true calling for Roberta.

Roberta was a loving and devoted wife to Gerald for 34 years, forever in her heart and gone too soon at the age of 59. She was an incredible mother to her 6 children, awesome grandmother to her loving grandchildren and great grandchildren. Roberta was a devoted friend to many and has kept in touch with friends from all avenues of her life in her 94 beautiful years.
