Julia A. (Bailey) Gerstley, 86, formerly of East Bridgewater, died peacefully on August 18, 2020, in the Bridgewater Nursing Home. She was the beloved wife of the late Francis Gerstley. She is survived by her loving stepdaughter, Sandra Rogers of East Bridgewater, and step-grandchildren, Walter Brown of Bridgewater and Wanda Sloan of East Bridgewater. She was predeceased by her brother, David Bodge, and her stepson, Herbert Gerstley. Born in Norwood in 1934, she was the daughter of the late Walter and Toini Bailey.
