Ewing, NJ- Josephine D. (nee Burek) McCulligh, 94, entered into eternal life on Wednesday, January 31, 2024 at the Greenwood House in Ewing, with loving family by her side. Born in Round Valley, NJ, daughter of the late Walter and Mary (nee Zimna) Burek, she was raised on a farm in Great Meadows, NJ. As a teenager Josephine moved to Manville, NJ, where she spent most of her life and in 1999 she resided in Whiting, NJ, until moving to Ewing about four years ago.
Josephine worked for several years with marketing research at Mapes & Ross in Princeton, NJ, before retiring in 1992. She was a past parishioner at Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church (Presently Christ the Redeemer Parish) in Manville and more recently had been a parishioner at Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Roman Catholic Church in Whiting. Time spent with her children and grandchildren meant the world to Josephine. She was a history buff, enjoyed word puzzles and word games, and loved all kinds of music. Spending time in her rose gardens and planting flowers was a favorite pastime.
Besides her parents, Josephine was predeceased by her beloved husband, Gary D. McCulligh on February 19, 2012. The youngest of seven, Josephine was predeceased by six siblings, John Burek, Angela Talan, Edward Burek, Fay LeMay, Anne Burek, and Stella Shulack.
