Ernestine McCarren, My Aunt, Passed Away
My beloved aunt, Ernestine McCarrent passed away on Tuesday.
She was on this earth May 5, 1941 to March 10, 2026
Ernestine Diane McCarren (née Ferranti), of Jupiter, FL, formerly of Secaucus, NJ and Jessup, PA, passed away peacefully on March 10, 2026. She was the beloved daughter of the late Ernest and Ida Ferranti.
Ernestine enjoyed a long and successful career in pharmaceutical advertising in New York, where she was known for her professionalism, creativity, and dedication. A lifelong runner, she also loved the opera, enjoyed playing golf, and was a devoted New York Yankees fan.
She is survived by her sisters, Dorothy Howard of Nashville, Tennessee, and Marlene Sonko of Hackettstown, New Jersey, as well as her loving nieces and nephews.
Family burial services to be held in New Jersey at a later date.
My dad always called her “Beaner”, a fun nickname that she enjoyed. I called her that too. But for the last year of her life, I couldn’t bear to use that name as dementia had robbed the world of that person.
I miss and love you, Beaner!
