Obituary of Carol Catherine Meyers

Carol Catherine Meyers, age 88 passed away on Friday, January 17, 2025. Born in Plainfield, NJ on December 26, 1936, to the late Helen and Herman Newman, and resided in Warren, NJ with her two siblings, Eleanor and Richie. After graduating from North Plainfield High School, she attended beauty school and spent the next few years as an accomplished beautician. In 1956, she met her late husband Ernest Meyers Jr., and the two married on June 9th, 1957. They moved to South Plainfield, grew a beautiful family, and built a successful fuel oil company together called Blue Ridge Oil. After retirement, they moved to Martinsville, where they lived happily for the last 20 years. 

Carol was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend to many.  She took great pleasure in maintaining her home, gardening, and spending time outdoors. Her epic taste inspired so many. She also had a passion for exploring new experiences, political matters, and spending time with her great-grandchildren. Her wisdom, contagious laugh, witty remarks, generosity, and compassion will be missed dearly. 

She is survived by her children: Lisa Conrad and her husband Russell of South Plainfield, Jeffrey Meyers and his wife Cindy of Green Brook, and Gary Meyers of Warren Township. She also leaves behind six grandchildren—Kelly, Michael, Katelyn, Lauren, Matthew, and Christian—and nine great-grandchildren: Robbie, Christian, Emma, Avery, Riley, Grayson, Scarlette, Reese, and Abigail. She also had many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her siblings, Richard and Eleanor.
