Emily Anna O'Hagan, 91, passed away, peacefully after a brief illness, Sunday, March 27, 2011 at Rosegarden Nursing Home, Toms River NJ.  Born in Hamilton Township, NJ on January 13 ^th 1920, Emily lived in Trenton NJ, Lambertville, NJ, Powderhorn, CO and Whiting, NJ before moving to Toms River.  She and her late husband, Earle H. O'Hagan, I, raised 5 children.  Emily and her husband were married 71 years.  Emily and her husband Earle enjoyed over 14 years of cross-country travel in their motorhome visiting family and friends from one end of the country to the other.  This truly was the joy of Emily and Earle's lives.  From their cabin in Colorado at 9,000 feet, that Emily helped her husband build with their own hands, to the coasts of California and Florida, the Pinelands of New Jersey, Emily and Earle spread their love to any and all who would receive them.  Emily had the ability to unconditionally love and respect those that were blessed enough to have met her.  She truly prayed for all to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior and to know and believe of his Love and forgiveness.
