James A. Nolan, 59, of New Hope, Pa., succumbed to liver cancer at home on Father’s Day, June 21, 2015, surrounded by his loving family.

Jim was born in 1956 and was a lifelong resident of Bucks County. He graduated from Neshaminy High School, Langhorne, Pa., in 1974, and Dartmouth College, Hanover, N.H., Class of 1978.

He is survived by Anita, his wife of 35 years, daughter Kellyn and sons Thomas and Bennett.

He was president and co-owner of Tohickon Abstract Co., a family title insurance business in Holicong, Pa., where he worked since graduating from college, holding real estate closings throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He was highly respected within the title industry, and considered those with whom he had the pleasure of working to be his friends.

Upon learning of her father’s illness, Kellyn moved home to be by his side, helping both at home and in the office, and working as hard as he did.

Jim loved running, bicycling, and reading. Things were not his friends, however, and he usually left issues mechanical or technological to his younger son, Bennett.

Jim coached all his children in soccer at one point or another, and enjoyed spending time along the pitch, shouting from the sideline. He especially loved watching Kenyon College soccer, and continued to follow the team’s progress, even after his son Thomas had graduated.

Jim was predeceased by his father, James J. Nolan, a fine Irish dancer, and is survived by his mother, Bernita Curley, brothers Patrick J. Nolan and his wife Elizabeth, of Doylestown, Brendan F. Nolan and his partner Joseph Litton, of New Hope, and sister Carey K. Young and her partner April DiPietro of Mount Laurel, N.J., as well as many nieces, nephews, and their children.

A celebration of Jim’s life will be held on Wednesday July 15, 2015 at Covenant Church, 4000 Route 202, Doylestown, PA 18902. Jim’s family will receive Condolences from 1:30 pm until his Life Celebration at 3:00 PM.

CAROLYN M. “MARIE” RODGERS

Sunrise: November 28, 1929

Sunset: June 20, 2015

It’s with great sadness to announce that Carolyn M. “Marie” Rodgers died at 12:35 am Saturday, June 20 surrounded by her family.

She was married to our Dad, William Rodgers, who predeceased her, for 65 very happy years.

Marie was the beloved daughter of the late Caroline Weber.

Marie, as those who knew her will attest, was the most lighthearted, fun to be with person who always had a smile on her face, dancing feet and a song in her heart.

Her happiest years were spent raising her family in Mayfair and working at Kenny’s Discount Gifts on Frankford Avenue.

Marie enjoyed the last five years at Wood River Village, being the life of every party and a friend to all who were lucky enough to cross her path. Everyone knew her and most people who saw her coming would say, “Uh oh, here comes Trouble with a Capital T” because she was always engaged in mischief of one kind or another. Her table at dinner was always the most boisterous and noisy group at Wood River Village. Gina, the nurse who took wonderful care of her told her it was “an honor to take care of you” and most people who knew Marie would agree.

Marie was the devoted mother of Carolyn Amato (and late son-in law, Anthony Amato) and their children, Jacquelyn and Scott Rand, Anthony and Carrie Amato and Carolyn Amato plus six great grandchildren.

She is also survived by her daughter, Suzanne Rodgers and her husband Anthony Porrazza and their children, Ciara and David Seal and Taryn Porrazza and her fiancé, Christopher Wickel.

William and Dorothy Rodgers also survive her as well as their children, William and Casey Rodgers, Christen and Moss Jacobson, Colleen and Michael Snow, Briana Rodgers, Bridget and Charles Sgrillo, Mackenzie Rodgers, Michaela Rodgers and nine great grandchildren.

Visitation is scheduled at 10:15 am on Monday, June 29th at Saint Bede the Venerable Roman Catholic Church (1071 Holland Road, Holland, PA 18966) followed by a Mass of Christian Burial at 11:15 am. Interment will follow at the Washington Crossing Veterans’ Cemetery where Marie will be reunited with her beloved husband, Bill.

We thank all our family, friends and the entire staff at Wood River Village (drivers, nurses, restaurant staff and administrators) for their love and support for our mother and us.

For those who wish to make a donation in Marie’s name, her preference would be the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research at Grand Central Station, PO Box 4777, New York, New York 10163-4777.

Mary M. Rajnic, a long-time resident of Newtown, passed away on Saturday June 20, 2015 at St. Mary Medical Center, Langhorne. She was 95.

She was the beloved wife of the late Frank Rajnic and mother of the late Francis J. Rajnic.

Born in Coaldale, PA, Mary was a daughter of the late Cletus and Catherine Gildea Schilling.

A graduate of St. Mary’s School in Coaldale, Mary later met and married her beloved husband, Frank. Together they relocated to Newtown, PA where they were devoted parishioners of the Church of St. Andrew. Mary enjoyed puzzles and travelling, but most importantly, she treasured time with her family who will miss her dearly as a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.  

Mary is survived by her grandchildren, Maura C. Hesdon and Michael F. Rajnic and his wife Valerie; her four great-grandchildren, Madison, Hannah, Janie, and Justin; and her daughters-in-law, Patricia Rajnic (wife of the late Francis J.) and Sharon J. Rajnic.

In addition to her husband, her son, and her parents, she was preceded in death by five siblings.

Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing on Monday June 29, 2015 from 9:30 AM until her Funeral Mass at 10:30 AM at the Church of St. Andrew, 81 Swamp Rd., Newtown, PA 18940. Her interment will be held at 3:00 PM in St. Joseph’s Cemetery, Summit Hill, PA.
