Obituary

John Hartnett, age 70, lifelong resident of Riverton, NJ passed suddenly on November 21, 2025.

John was born on May 9, 1955 in Philadelphia, PA to Irene (nee' Martin) and William Hartnett. In 1957 the family moved to Riverton and John remained a lifelong resident.

John was a graduate of Palmyra High School, Class of 1973, and received his associates degree from Burlington County College. John spent his career in information technology and computer programming, working for 24 years with J&J Snack Foods until his retirement.

Devoted to his family and community, John was involved in many activities, including coaching Pal-Riv softball for many years. He was an admirer of NASA, always following the latest news on their space programs. John enjoyed photography, loved his Mustang convertible and was a member of the South Jersey Mustang Club.

John was a devout fan of all the Philly sports teams, especially of the Phillies and, most of all, the Eagles. John was a proud Eagles season ticket holder for 53  years, since 1972, and was known for his streak of attending 327 consecutive Eagles home games! He was thrilled to see his Eagles win two Super Bowl Championships and enjoyed many tailgate parties and time spent with his family and friends at the games.

John is survived by his beloved wife of 46-years, Teresa Hartnett (nee' Yannetti), and his loving children, Julie Russell and her husband Mike Russell, and Kevin Hartnett and his wife Taylor Goldberg-Hartnett. Also surviving are his dear grandchildren, Maggie and Zachary Russell, his sister, Irene Morris, his sister-in-law, Linda Tierney, and his brother-in-law, Patrick Yannetti and his partner Barbara. He is also survived by his nieces and nephews, Alex Tierney and husband Michael Fabian, Sue Morris, Michael Morris and Cyndi Chappel.

John was predeceased by his parents, Irene and William Hartnett, his brother, Joe Hartnett, and his brother-in-law, Brian Tierney.
