In Loving Memory of Shirley Newbaker McCracken
Shirley Lola Newbaker
McCracken, 89, of New-
ton, New Jersey, went
peacefully to her eternal
resting place on Tuesday,
April 16, 2019, at United
Methodist Communities,
Bristol Glen, Tapestries
Memory Care, in Newton,
following a long illness.
Born in Blairstown,
New Jersey, on April 29,
1929, Shirley grew up
on High Street in Blair-
stown and was the only
child of the late Lola May
(Keen) and Vincent J.
Newbaker. She attended
Blairstown Elementary
School, Blairstown High
School and Centenary Ju-
nior College in Hackett-
stown before graduating
from American Univer-
sity in Washington, D.C.
with an Honors Degree
in Biology. While in col-
lege, Shirley was elected
president of her sorority,
Alpha Chi Omega and
vice-president of the Pan-
hellenic Council. She was
inducted into Beta Beta
Beta, the National Bio-
logical Honor Society and
was also a member of the
Varsity Swim and Water
Ballet teams. She enjoyed
attending many social
events and was crowned
Miss Easter Queen at the
Sophomore Easter Dance
– The “Bunny Hop”. Af-
ter college graduation
in June of 1950, Shirley
returned home to Blair-
stown and wrote editorial
for the Blairstown Press.
Shirley’s father was the
owner/manager of New-
baker Funeral Home in
Blairstown until his sud-
den death, at which time
her mother continued to
operate the funeral home.
Having grown up in the
funeral business, it was
no surprise when she met

and married a funeral di-
rector in 1951, the late
C. Edward McCracken.
In 1958, they purchased
Luse & Smith Funeral
Home in Newton, and
subsequently changed the
name to Smith-McCrack-
en Funeral Home. They
lived above the funer-
al home on High Street
in Newton, where they
raised two of their chil-
dren, Jo-Ellen and Bob.
Shirley loved living at
the funeral home; how-
ever, in 1974 Shirley and
Ed moved - to experience
country life - to their new
home in Fredon Town-
ship, where their third
child, Jim, was raised.
They were also co-own-
ers of Newbaker Funeral
Home in Blairstown until
1993. Shirley thoroughly
enjoyed her role in funer-
al service, where she and
Ed worked as a team. She
was an integral part of the
business until her retire-
