Very sad new to pass on. Our hearts are with Betty Jean and her family.

Our 4-H Hearts are broken! Cape May County 4-H and Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Cape May County mourns the loss of our beloved “BJ.”

Betty Jean Jesuncosky Webersinn, a very special member of our 4-H Family for more than half a century, died peacefully at home on Saturday, August 23, 2025, after a long illness.

BJ began her career in extension in 1970, became the 4-H Program Associate here in Cape May County in 1974, and later ruled kindly and benevolently as 4-H Agent for over 30 years.

After her retirement in 2012, BJ continued to volunteer and support our 4-H Program in any way requested…her heart was always open when it came to our 4-H community. She generously supported many 4-Hers’ travel to national leadership conferences, and this year initiated a first-time camper scholarship to L.G. Cook 4-H Camp.

It would be impossible to estimate the number of children BJ positively influenced through 4-H over her long, successful career. BJ was passionate about many things, but chief among them were 4-H and kids. She truly “bled green.”

There will be a Celebration of Life in her honor on Saturday, September 20th, beginning at 2 pm and continuing throughout the afternoon at the Lockwood 4-H Youth Center. All are welcome.

A key for agricultural conservation on farms with livestock is animal waste management. The nutrients that animal manure contains can pose risks to soil and water. Excess nutrients can collect in soils and run off into bodies of water causing increased aquatic vegetation and decreased dissolved oxygen levels.

To help achieve this, the Cape Atlantic Conservation District has entered into an agreement with the New Jersey Department of Agriculture to offer both technical and financial assistance to our
local livestock producers.
