Mrs. Marchetti, a lifelong resident of the borough, died September 19, 2023 at the age of 98.
Born April 7, 1925 in the same house on Center Avenue where she lived almost all her life, Mrs. Marchetti was the first woman mayor of the borough and active in numerous clubs and societies that benefited her beloved Atlantic Highlands.
She served on Council before being elected Mayor, and also served on the Harbor Commission and the Planning Board. She was a member of the Fire Department Auxiliary, the Atlantic Highlands Yacht Club and the Historical Society as well as several other organizations.
When was she mayor?
Probably not anytime in this century!
I’m sorry for you that you never had the opportunity to meet Helen. She was a wonderful, caring person, and one of the best Mayors Atlantic Highlands ever had.
Helen was a wonderful person and a dedicated Atlantic Highlands resident. She was always working for the betterment of our town.
Helen loved to talk to our kids. Our sons enjoyed talking to Helen and hearing her stories.
We all miss her. 💔
Yes it was this century!
