In Memoriam: Red Bank Native Mitzi Copperthwaite, 62

Red Bank native Mitzi Copperthwaite passed away on July 9, at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank. She was 62.

Born on Dec. 18, 1963, in Red Bank, Mitzi spent her life in Monmouth County. She earned a bachelor’s degree and had a career in finance, working as a floor clerk for La Branche Company on Wall Street in New York City before her retirement.

“One of Mitzi’s great passions was gardening; and, upon retirement, she spent the next 20 years working at Morganville Flower Farm, where she made many wonderful friends and memories.

“To know Mitzi was to also know her love for her precious pups. Caesar, Miggles, and Sam all had the privilege of being loved by her and she also found great comfort in their dedicated love …

“Mitzi will be remembered for the life she lived and the memories she shared with those who knew and loved her.”
