We are excited to announce Samantha Clementi as our July Magician of the Month!

Sam is always working behind the scenes, and we often don’t realize just how much she does for us. She is a kind and funny person who truly does not get enough credit for her hard work. Recently, Sam helped Sandy, our recruitment and training coordinator with her engraver on short notice, dedicating time on several days to help her get it working.

She is always positive and never makes anyone feel like a bother, even when they think they might be.

Sam, thank you for always being so supportive and helpful. Congratulations on this much-deserved recognition!

Last Thursday, Heritage’s participated in the Annual 4th of July parade in Paulsboro, where our float, driven by our Company President Skeeter Heritage Jr., took home the 1st place Judges Award for Large Business! The theme of this year’s parade theme centered around “Celebrating Paulsboro Women” and we were so happy to share the moment with the amazing women who run our Paulsboro store; Manager Ashley Ivey and GSM Beverly Tredway.  

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success, and to our wonderful community for your ongoing support!

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to Betty Ann Staab on her recent retirement. Betty, our dedicated Receptionist, has been a valued member of our team for over 10 years.

Betty, thank you so much for all you’ve done over the years. Your presence on our team will be greatly missed. We wish you all the best in your well-deserved retirement!
