Judith Gelles Obituary
East Windsor - Judith B. Gelles (Judy), 75, of East Windsor, New Jersey passed away peacefully on June 3, with her family by her side. Born in Manhattan, she was a resident of East Windsor for the past 45 years.
Judy was a Customer Service Representative at McGraw-Hill until she retired. Judy was amongst the many brave people who fought and survived breast cancer. As a result, Judy often reflected on being part of the movement towards better treatments and a cure.
Judy was predeceased by her husband David Gelles and her brother Robert Israel 4 year ago and her sister Arlene Shirken, 7 months ago. Judy is survived by her two sons and very endeared daughters-in-law, Adam and Angela Gelles and Colin and Mary Gelles. She was the "over the moon" proud Nana of her four grandchildren Janine, Brad, Alice, and Dylan whom she endearingly referred to as "her babies".
Calling hours will be held, 2pm to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 12 and 10am to 11am Sunday June 13 at the Barlow & Zimmer Funeral Home, 202 Stockton Street, Hightstown NJ 08520. Graveside services will be held Sunday at 11:30 a.m. at Floral Park Cemetery, 104 Deans Rhode Hall Road, South Brunswick.
