Roxbury Township, Kristy Jo Waldron, 39, died on November 8, 2015 at the Morristown Medical Center, surrounded by her loving family and friends. She was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She was born in Dover and lived in Roxbury Township most all of her life. She was a graduate of Roxbury High School and of the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont.  She became a chef, which was her passion in life, working at the Washington Inn, a 5 Star Restaurant, in Cape May, where she gained a life long extended family.
