Mrs. Pat Bolton

May 24, 1921 - May 22, 2020

Pat Bolton (nee Robson) in her 99th year of life went home to be with the Lord on May 22, 2020. Pat was born and raised in London, England and worked for several years as a clerk in Romford, England in charge of the post office before moving to America in 1954. She then worked as a book keeper for Woodbury Fuel and Supply. Pat was a member of Christ Episcopal Church, Woodbury and a twenty-five-year member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Fairview Chapter #219. She was a volunteer at The Masonic Home in Burlington. A kind and loving soul, she dedicated her life to her friends and family. Pat enjoyed camping and traveling with John in their little Scotty. Knitting was her passion. Pat was hardly ever seen without knitting needles in her hands moving with the speed of lightning. She created and published several of her own knitting patterns. Her knitting for charity included bereavement blankets, hats and scarves for the sailors, preemie baby hats and squares for afghans. It was not unusual to see Pat knitting, reading a book and watching television all at the same time. She is survived by her children, Janet Philipp of West Deptford and Colin Bolton of Fayetteville, N.C.; her son-in-law (of 60 yrs.) Reynold Philipp; eleven grandchildren; twenty-six great grandchildren; four great great grandchildren and two brothers, Reginald Robson of Stanwood, Washington and Cyril Robson of Luton, England. She was predeceased by her loving husband Arthur John Bolton; three brothers and three sisters and one grandchild. Funeral Services will be private at this time. Arrangements by McBride – Foley Funeral Home, Paulsboro.
