Obituary of Carol A Pagliughi

Carol A. Pagliughi, 79, of Jackson Township passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 12, 2021 at CentraState Medical Center, Freehold Township.  Carol was born, raised, and had lived in Brooklyn until moving to Jackson in 2005.  Knitting, reading, music, and an affection for the entertainment that came from slot machines are some of the things, she took great pleasure in.  Travel, though, was her real passion.  From safaris in Africa, to the islands of French Polynesia, to the Amazon, and from Alaska to the Antarctic, Carol was truly a world traveler.  She also had been on a total of 35 cruises. But her love was always and only for her family.

She is survived by her husband, Tony Pagliughi of Jackson; a son, Anthony Pagliughi and his wife, Linda of Old Bridge; a daughter, Anita Helmick and her husband, John of Hagerstown, MD; and a granddaughter, Paulina Pagliughi of Old Bridge.
