Born in the Bronx, New York, on January 26, 1918, Camille was the oldest of four children and the daughter of the late Alfred John \u201cAJ\u201d and Ida (DiPillo) Ferraro. In 1941, Camille, her father AJ and her brother John founded Trans-Bridge Lines, Inc. in Broadway, New Jersey. In November 1943, she applied to enter the Armed Services WAVES program; however, chose to remain in the family business. In early 1944, Camille relocated to Phillipsburg, New Jersey. Shortly after, Trans-Bridge Lines moved to Phillipsburg and eventually to its current home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. In 1990, Camille, her husband Jim, and sons Tom and Jim became the sole owners of Trans-Bridge Lines and grew the company into one of the largest bus companies in Pennsylvania. Camille served as Corporate Secretary and continued in that role up to the time of her passing. She attended weekly management meetings and remained active in the office until the pandemic in 2020. Afterwards, she continued receiving business reports, updates and completed office work remotely.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe was a member of Notre Dame of Bethlehem Church.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe is survived by her daughter, Janet; sons, Thomas (Marta), and James (Eileen); six grandchildren, Lauren Helgerson (Karl), Leslie Cruz (Jason), Mary JeBran, Julie McElvenny (Jay), Isabella JeBran, and Corina JeBran; and eight great-grandchildren, Ben, Sophia, Ellie, Tommy, Victoria, Lena, Emily and Jack.
