Junius Solomon - June 08, 1936 - May 12, 2024

Departed: 05/12/2024 (Camden)

Obituary Preview: Junius Solomon passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 12, 2024, at his home in Willingboro, New Jersey, surrounded and supported by his loving family. He was 87.

Junius was born on June 8, 1936, in Napoleonville, Louisiana, to Ozama Solomon and Cecelia Brown. He grew up in New Orleans and attended McDonough 35 High School. In 1954, Junius entered service in the United States Air Force. He remained in the service until 1957, when he was honorably released from active duty as an Airman First Class. Junius attended college at the University of New Orleans (at that time, LSUNO) and graduated with BAs in Political Science and Sociology. His education served him well and prepared him for a meaningful and impactful career.

Junius was an advocate devoted to the causes of civil rights and equal opportunity. To those ends, he began his professional career as the Director of the Upward Bound/Talent Search Projects at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. There, Junius recruited and worked with academically talented minority and non-minority students with limited financial resources, helping to place many on the path to acceptance to and graduation from institutions of higher education. Upon leaving Virginia Tech, Junius joined the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, serving to protect and ensure equal access and opportunity for students in the nation’s schools and colleges. He worked at OCR for over two decades before retiring in 2004. Ever the student, and deeply committed to education, Junius earned a Master of Public Administration from Rutgers University in 2012.

Junius’s dedication to public service and equal opportunity was surpassed only by his dedication to his family. He married Lois Swanson, with whom he had his first child, Donna Solomon, born in 1961. Junius and Lois later divorced. Sometime later, while working in New Orleans, Junius met Sandra Marchand, and the two married in 1969. Not long after, Junius and Sandra moved to Blacksburg, where they had their first son, James. In 1975, when Junius left Virginia Tech, the family moved to Willingboro, New Jersey. There, they welcomed daughter, Erika, and son, David. Junius and Sandra remained together in Willingboro for the rest of their days.

Junius reveled in being a husband and father, entertaining (or torturing) his family with his bad jokes and nonsensical dancing (including his signature dance, “The DD”), and leading the way on fishing and camping trips, long road trips to Louisiana and California, and many other family outings and gatherings. For his siblings, too, Junius, the eldest, took on the role of patriarch, always calling and checking in on everyone, including their kids and grandchildren, and always teaching, supporting, and guiding. Though he left New Orleans, New Orleans never left him; he remained a fan and mass consumer of jazz and never accepted any cuisine as a rival to that of the Crescent City.

Junius was preceded in death by his parents, Ozama Solomon and Cecelia Brown Mundy, his brothers James Solomon and Ozama Solomon, his sister Annie Gant, his wife Sandra Solomon, and his daughter Donna Solomon. He is survived by his children, James (Mary O’Brien) Solomon, Erika Solomon, and David (Allison) Solomon; grandsons Avery and Alexander Solomon; bonus grandson John (Melissa Draving) O’Brien; bonus great-granddaughter Maggie Obrien; siblings Rene Solomon, Susie Durant, Ethel Burnside, Cecelia (Dallas) Clark, Rose (Carl) Hutchings, Verna (Glenn) Taplin, Alvin (Edith Johnson) Mundy, Linda Mundy, and Sterling Mundy; as well as a host of nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, and cousins. He dearly loved them all, was greatly loved by them all, and will always and forever be in their hearts. That man is a success—who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it; who has never lacked appreciation of earth’s beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in others and gave the best he had. —UNKNOWN

Services for Junius will be held on Thursday, May 30, 2024, at 10:30 a.m. at May Funeral Home, 45 Pine St., Willingboro, NJ 08046. A repast will follow.

Jewlnica Chant'e Freeman - November 26, 2010 - May 01, 2024

Departed: 05/01/2024 (Camden)

Obituary Preview: Once upon a time, in an earthly kingdom, there was a Royal Princess named, “Jewlnica Chant’e Freeman.'' This rare Jewel, was affectionately called "Juji." She was born on November 26, in the year 2010. She was born to Jernica Quinones (Freeman) and Michael Freeman.

The Royal Princess was a fireball of energy and power. She loved tussling with her brothers, playing with her sister-cousin, Amoni, chasing after her dog Jagger, whom she took to church on occasion, and would often be caught sneaking him chocolate chip cookies. One of her favorite replies to almost everything was “Ain't nobody got time for that, I was going to the Barbecue”. She adopted that quote from her favorite commercial.

Her mother shares, “The day I birthed Royalty, I was in so much pain; this was the morning after Thanksgiving. Through the pain, I could faintly hear my mother calling my name from the other room. As I got up to walk over and enter the room, she asked if I could take her shopping for Black Friday sales. I replied and said, “Mom, I’m having labor pains. I think I’m having the baby today.” She in return asked, “How far apart are the contractions?” The contractions were every hour. My mother still wanted to go shopping. I agreed to go shopping. In the stores, my mother wanted to try on many shoes; anyone who knew my biological mother, also knew she couldn’t do this on her own. By the 5th pair of shoes my mother was trying on, I could feel the pains getting sharper every 20 minutes. "Mom, I can’t bend anymore. I’m in too much pain," I said. She replied, "Okay, let’s get in line," then she left me in line to go smoke a cigarette. The pains are coming every 15 minutes. Not being able to hold my breath as I'm next in line, the cashier asks if I'm okay, and if I'm going into labor. I told her no, I just needed to pay for my mother’s items. After coming out of the store, rushing toward my mother, I said to her, “Okay mom, let’s go. I need to go home and tell Mike I’m in labor,” to which she asked if I can stop at one more place nearby before I go home. I took her to the store and then dropped off the gift to my nephews who were around the corner from where we lived.

The stories on the day of Juji's arrival, dull in comparison to the triumphant journey she has endured the past ten years.

Her young precious life endured so much pain and suffering caused by a very unfortunate accident. Throughout her life, she underwent several surgeries to overcome various challenges. These surgeries included a Gtube, Jtube, tracheostomy, reconstructed spine surgery, hip surgery twice, a Baclofen Pump to manage pain and spasms, and had her tendons cut. Despite facing such hardships, Jewlnica Chant’e Freeman remained a resilient Royal Princess, demonstrating remarkable strength and courage.

Her life touched the hearts of many individuals and reached various places. Jewlnica Chant’e Freeman made a significant impact on those around her and received care and support from institutions such as Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Weisman Children’s Rehab, Cooper University Hospital, St. Christopher’s Hospital, Nemours in Delaware, Larc School, Voorhees Pediatric Nursing Facility for Children, and The Bancroft School. Each of these places played a vital role in her journey, providing care, rehabilitation, and education as she navigated through life's challenges with resilience and determination.

Jewlnica Chant’e Freeman's life has left a lasting impact and legacy through various meaningful endeavors. Her mother established the “Rare Jewel” nonprofit organization, dedicated to raising awareness for traumatic brain injury in children related to near-drowning incidents. Through this organization, over 300 life jackets were given to children, promoting water safety and accident prevention. Jewlnica also inspired her mother to write books such as "Melody and Jewel’s Big Adventure" and the "Water and Pool Safety Coloring Book," aimed at educating children on water safety.

In addition to her literary contributions, Jewlnica's legacy includes organizing events like "Jewel’s Special Day" and the "Little Miss Camden Pageant," which celebrated and empowered young individuals. Her impact extended to community events like the "Blessed Day Parade" on July 8th2021, featuring guests from the CCSS dance group and Saving Grace Ministries.

Despite facing these challenges, she remained courageous in her fight.

Her purpose in this life meant to be of service and advocacy for those who have suffered a TBI from a near drowning accident. It culminated in the establishment of Royal Priesthood Ministries, a testament to her purpose and destiny, for making a difference in the lives of others and leaving a positive impact on the world around her. Jewlnica Chant’e Freeman's legacy continues to inspire and uplift countless individuals, embodying the essence of resilience, compassion, and empowerment. Receiving Juji at the Royal gates of heaven is Queen Grandmother Milagros Quinones. She leaves to cherish her memory, her parents, Jernica and Michael, brothers, D’Angelo, Devin, Kyheem, Bless’n, and Tyree, one sister, LyrikMelody, maternal great-grandmother, Marta, maternal grandfather, Victor Sr., and paternal grandparents, Charlene Ransom and Louis Freeman, aunts, Adelaida, Shant’e, Nikki, Aleathea, Catherine, and uncles, Victor Jr. and Esteven. Great aunts Soraya, Blanch, Lorraine, and great uncles Victor, Raul, Efrain, Charles, Marvin (Maribel), Joseph, John, and George. A very special Godmother Indya and Godsister Heiress, a host of loving family and friends both near and far away!
