BettyAnn Gimbrone

BettyAnn Gimbrone, born on February 20, 1953, in Bayonne, New Jersey, passed away on April 26, 2026, in Eatontown, New Jersey, leaving behind a life marked by devotion, kindness and a love for her family and friends.

Throughout her life, BettyAnn carried a strong work ethic, loyalty to others, and a warm, straightforward spirit that made her easy to know and impossible to forget. Those who knew her best appreciated the genuine care she extended to family, friends, and coworkers alike.

BettyAnn dedicated many years of service to the United States government through her work with the U.S. Navy and later with the U.S. Army Civilian Appellate Review Agency in Tinton Falls, where she served as an administrative officer. She approached her work with professionalism and reliability and her career reflected her commitment to service.

She was also proud to retire early so that she could spend more time with her husband, Frank Gimbrone, when he retired. Their time together was deeply important to her, and she cherished the opportunity to enjoy life at a gentler pace beside the person she loved. Their marriage was a source of companionship, comfort, and shared memories that brought her great happiness.

She especially loved spending time with her family, and those moments meant the world to her. Whether gathered for a meal, sharing stories, or simply enjoying one another’s company, BettyAnn found joy in being surrounded by the people she loved most. 

BettyAnn also enjoyed walking several miles each day, a habit that reflected her energy, determination, and appreciation for simple routines that kept her active. She found pleasure in visiting the Atlantic City casinos, where she enjoyed the excitement and atmosphere, and loved listening to her oldies. These interests were a reflection of her personality, which blended discipline with a love of life’s little pleasures.

She will be remembered for her loving heart and the way she made others feel welcome and cared for. BettyAnn left a lasting impression on those fortunate enough to know her and her memory will continue to be cherished by all who held her dear.  Though she is no longer with us, the love she gave and the example she set will remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

BettyAnn is survived by her children JoAnne Tardiff and husband Patrick, DiAnne Richardson, Michael Filsinger, Frankie Gimbrone and wife Tiana, grandchildren Jaclyn and husband Joseph, Angela, Donnie, Daniel, Christian, Hailey, and Madison, 5 great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband Frank Gimbrone, Sr., her parents George and Elizabeth Stayduhar, sister RoseMarie Miller and brother-in-law David Miller
