Ann-Marie Jaeger

Ann-Marie Jaeger, a devoted educator, loving mother, cherished wife, and gifted artisan, passed away peacefully on Good Friday, April 3, 2026, at Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell, NJ. Born on September 22, 1964, in Queens, New York, Ann-Marie’s life was marked by kindness, boundless generosity, and a vibrant spirit that touched everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Ann-Marie’s academic journey began at Our Lady of Peace School in Lynbrook, NY, continued through Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, NY, and advanced with the achievement of a bachelor’s degree from Adelphi University in Garden City, NY. Her commitment to education culminated with a master’s degree from Queens College, CUNY, laying a strong foundation for her distinguished career in education.

For 25 years, Ann-Marie dedicated herself to shaping young minds as an educator in the West Windsor-Plainsboro and Princeton School Districts. Her passion for teaching and her patient, kind nature made her a beloved figure among students, parents, and colleagues alike. When her own children were born, she embraced the role of stay-at-home mother with great love and devotion, nurturing and caring for them with unwavering commitment.

Later in her life, Ann-Marie, alongside her husband Joe, channeled her creativity and entrepreneurial spirit into Bella Farmhouse & Design, LLC, a furniture refurbishment business based in Flemington, NJ. This venture was a testament to her artistic flair and her love of decorating homes, a passion she eagerly shared with others.

Her musical talents brought additional joy to her life; she loved to sing and play the piano, enriching her family and friends with her musical gifts. Ann-Marie was known for being “full of life,” a giver who cherished helping people and brought warmth and light wherever she went.

She was truly the glue of her family, a pillar who kept everyone together through love and care. Beloved as the best “Mimi” to her grandchildren, she was also held in the highest regard as a wife, mother, daughter, and sister. Her husband Joe, her steadfast companion of over 20 years, expressed that she quite literally saved his life—an enduring testament to her strength and compassion.

Ann-Marie leaves behind her devoted husband Joe Wysokowski; her three children and their families: Alexandra Webb and her husband Christopher and their children Nicholas and Felicity; Taylor Heaps and her husband Matthew with their children Kaden and Beckham; and her son Kyle Jaeger. She is also survived by her loving parents, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Marino; her brothers John Marino (wife Mary Ann) and Gregory Marino (wife Theresa); her many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins, all of whom carry forward her legacy of love and resilience. She was predeceased by her mother-in-law, Georgeanna Wysokowski.
