Mark K. Worosilo's Obituary
Mark Worosilo passed away on December 18, 2025, in Lewes, Delaware, at the age of 75. He was born on October 31, 1950, in Bayonne, New Jersey, to Walter and Margaret Worosilo.
Graduating from Kean University in 1972, Mark embarked on a rewarding career as a dedicated teacher who inspired countless students over the years. His commitment to fostering education was only rivaled by his involvement in his community, notably serving as the president of the Camelot Meadows Homeowners Association. In this role, Mark championed significant initiatives such as linking lot rent increases on manufactured homes to inflation and securing the rights for the transfer of 10-year leases to new buyers. His efforts also brought a clubhouse and pool to the Camelot property, much to the delight of the residents.
Mark was an enthusiastic supporter of charitable causes and dedicated considerable time and energy to raising thousands of dollars for Bear Hugs for Babies, an organization close to his heart. He was also a longtime member and supporter of CAMP Rehoboth. His love for life extended to the creation of an elaborate Christmas light show at his home, a spectacle that brought joy to many during the holiday season. His passion for music was evident in his work as a DJ at nightclubs in Central New Jersey, where he enlivened the nights with his energy and taste in music.
Travel was another joy in Mark’s life, and he cherished exploring new cultures and sights with his beloved husband, Thomas Negran. They shared many adventures on cruises and held a special fondness for the vibrant town of Sitges, Spain. These experiences added to the tapestry of a life fully embraced and enjoyed.
Mark was predeceased by his parents, Walter and Margaret Worosilo; his sister, Sharon Worosilo; and his brother-in-law, Robert Negran. He is survived by his devoted husband, Thomas Negran; his in laws, Elaine and Lowell Burgin of Monroe, NJ. beloved friends James Bowers and Liz Raes; and many cousins, including Edmund Potocki of Newton, New Jersey, Terrill Tomsky of Warren, New Jersey, Donna Paterek of Chatham, New Jersey, Chris Worosilo of Woodbridge, New Jersey, Linda Osborne of Cuttingsville, Vermont, Lucas Worosilo of Kennesaw, Georgia, and Tony Worosilo of Manchester, New Jersey.
