Rose Tustin Rutledge Chapman

Rose Tustin Rutledge Chapman passed away peacefully on Friday, May 13, 2022, she was 79 years young.

Rosie was one of ten sisters and two brothers, she was born in Manayunk, PA, and moved to Eldora, NJ as a young girl, she graduated Middle Township High School Class of 1960, where she was voted Class Clown, and she just kept people laughing for the rest of her life.

She loved Sea Isle City and was a big part of the Recreation Department activities for kids. She started the Sea Isle City Chiefs/Cowboys cheerleading squads to cheer for our football teams, winning many Cheer Competitions year after year. She also coached many basketball, volleyball, and other teams at the Rec Center.

Rosie loved kids, especially her own five, and her 41 nieces and nephews. Mrs. Rut had an open door for all, and there was always a crowd at 80th Street, street hockey or wiffleball going on and she was right there in the middle of it coaching or cheering us on. She made growing up in Sea Isle the most fun a kid could have.

Rosie is survived and will forever be missed by her children, Vicky (Michael), Jerry (Maria), Bill (Kim), Chris and Michael (Lisa); grandchildren, Jillian, Tim, Allison, Taylor, Billy, Carlee, Michael, Jake, Joseph, Nicholas; great granddaughter, Carter Noelle; stepchildren, David, Shanda, Debbie and Keith; grandsons, Brett and Josh; as well as her sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews, and her neighbors, Joan and Tonya.

Rosie didn’t want anyone to be sad ever, so please celebrate her beautiful life.
