Carol Alpert (nee Klein) of North Brunswick, NJ passed away on July 18th at the age of 69.
Carol grew up in Tappan, NY. She graduated from Tappan Zee High School in 1974 and St. Thomas Aquinas College in 1978 with a BA in Psychology. Carol married Michael Alpert in 1978 and they celebrated their 48th wedding anniversary last month. Carol was an incredible stay at home mom for her two daughters before starting her teaching career.
Carol was a beloved teacher for 28 years teaching both nursery and religious school and retired in June 2025. Carol loved Disney, reading, birdwatching in Cuddebackville, NY, and learning French. She enjoyed going to restaurants, traveling, spending time with her family, and recently became a dedicated NY Yankee fan.
Carol is survived by her husband Michael and her daughters Emily and Sam.
Memorial Services will be held on Wednesday, July 22 at 11am, at The Jewish Center, Princeton, NJ.
In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Tunnel to Towers (T2T.org).
Funeral arrangements are by Orland’s Ewing Memorial Chapel.
At times like this, words fail me to offer the condolence that is badly needed
but rejoice in the memories of 48 great years together – the two children you raised
– the many meals and drinks enjoyed – the many excursions and seasonal weekend trips to the cabin
Carol will be missed – especially by you and the girls, but also by the many she taught
And especially the waitstaff she conspired with to give you a deserved hard time!
So very sorry for your loss. I am glad I got to see Carol just a few weeks back at the teacher’s reunion at The Jewish Center. I enjoyed working with Carol and watching the joy and love she shared with her students at The Joan Levin School of Early Childhood Education. May her memory be a blessing to all who knew her.
