Publish in a newspaper
Barbara J. Gallini (nee Hoelzer), 90, of Union, passed away peacefully on June 13, 2025, at Morristown Medical Center.
Barbara spent her childhood in Maplewood, moving to Union upon her marriage in 1959. She began her life-long love of nursing as a surgical nurse at Newark Beth Israel Hospital before having her family. She then continued in her vocation at Cornell Hall Convalescent Center in Union for many years.
She enjoyed many forms of needlework, gardening, and her daily crossword puzzles. She also held a special place in her heart for her many furry friends, whom she lovingly cared for throughout the years.
Barbara was predeceased by her beloved husband, Silvio J. Gallini, in 2012, and by her brothers, Charles and William Hoelzer.
She is survived by her loving daughters: Valerie Giglio and her husband Anthony, Karen Gallini, Andrea Giarnieri and her husband Nicholas, and Kristina Gallini.
Barbara will be remembered for her kind heart, dedication to her family, and her compassionate spirit.
Visitation will be held on Tuesday, June 17th from 5:00 - 8:00 PM and Wednesday, June 18th from 10:00 -11:00 AM at The Jacob A. Holle Funeral Home, 2122 Millburn Avenue, Maplewood, NJ. Entombment to follow Hollywood Memorial Park in Union, NJ.
