Stephen J. Travers

Patrick and Mary Anne Travers (deceased), passed away peacefully at home

surrounded by loved ones (“his guardian angels”).

Stephen lived in Brooklyn, NY with his devoted wife, Lorraine and four children

before moving to Howell, NJ in 1969 where he raised his family and enjoyed

creating many life-long friendships.

Stephen maintained long careers with Morgan Guarantee Trust Co. and First Fidelity

Bank. As a passionate golfer, he took a job, just for fun, at the Howell Golf Course

post-retirement.

Stephen moved to Manchester, NJ after losing his wife, Lorraine, of 44 years where

he enjoyed ten years of playing golf, bocce ball and reading books on his patio. He

was a parishioner of St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church, Toms River, NJ.

Stephen enjoyed spending time with family, dabbling with the guitar and ukulele

and listening to Irish music. He cared deeply about his Irish heritage and spent

endless hours on Ancestry.com where he discovered many family connections.

Stephen is also predeceased by his daughter, Laurie and his brothers, John and

Michael. He is survived by his son, Stephen and wife, Mary, his daughter, Beth and

husband, Pete, his daughter, Christina and husband, Rob, his grandchildren, Casey,

Emily and Megan, Peter and Brittney, Brian and Lauren, Kevin and Megan, Amanda

and Brian and Sarah. He was blessed to meet his great-granddaughters, Quinn and

Ellie who he leaves behind. He is survived by his sister, Rosemary, his sister-in-law

Peggy and many nieces and nephews.

He will be remembered for his wisdom, his sense of humor, his wit and his

entertaining stories. He was tough but kind, serious but a lot of fun. He worked hard

and played hard. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends and all who had

the honor of knowing him.
