Salem County siblings charged with elderly abuse after death of their mother

A brother and sister have been charged with elderly abuse and neglect following the death of their 71-year-old mother, authorities said.

Kimberly S. Proud, 45, of Pennsville, and her brother, Timothy C. Proud, 50, of Penns Grove, were both charged in the case after authorities concluded an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Virginia Proud’s death last week, police said Wednesday.

Pennsville Police Lt. Allen Cummings said this was the first charge of elderly neglect and abuse in the township in at least 23 years.

According to authorities, the condition of Virginia Proud at the time of her death and the condition of the Georgia Road home where she lived with her daughter, Kimberly Proud, led to the investigation that eventually resulted in the charges which were filed on Tuesday.
