Obituary

Marsha Sweet, 73, of Long Branch, NJ entered eternal rest on Sunday, March 22, 2020 surrounded by those who loved her most.  She was born on February 23, 1947 in Philadelphia, PA to the late Frances Newman-Crudup and John Harvin, shortly after they relocated to Long Branch, NJ.

Marsha found joy in helping others.  She held a career in health care for over forty years, leaving a lasting impression on many people and their families during that time.

In addition to helping others, Marsha loved listening to music.  Some of her favorites were smooth jazz, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and the Whispers and Will Downing. She loved to watch the New York Knicks and any Al Pacino movie. What Marsha enjoyed most, was spending time with her family.  She was always at the beach, or on a bus ride to New York City with her grandchildren.

Marsha was predeceased by her husband, Nathaniel Sweet; parents, Frances Newman-Crudup and John Harvin; and brother, Sylvester Crudup.  She leaves to cherish her memory four children, Todd, Tiwan, Tanesha, and Tanya Sweet; four grandchildren, Dominique, Veronica, Jacklyn, and Todd Sweet Jr.; grand dog, Jack Sweet; siblings, Aneva Crudup, Anthony Crudup, Ronald Crudup, Robert Crudup, and Pasty Chambers; along with a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews who adored her. She will be remembered for her jokes and easy-going personality.
