Carol S. Sinck (nee Berkstresser), 71, of Pittsgrove Township, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends, on February 6, 2019 after a long battle with breast cancer. Born in Camden, NJ and growing up in Delaware Township (now Cherry Hill), Carol was a graduate of the St. Peter’s School, Merchantville and Camden Catholic High School. She was the beloved wife of 35 years to the late Tim Sinck.

She was President of the Olivet School PTA, a Girl Scout leader for troop #455 and an Elmer Girls Softball Coach.
