Following her formal education, she entered the healthcare profession, serving as a nurse’s aide at Newton Memorial Hospital in New Jersey. In her later years, prior to retirement, she served as a Nanny—a job that she loved.

She was a member of Trinity United Church of Christ, Spinnerstown.

Outside of work she maintained an active social life with memberships to the Hungarian Club, YMCA, and the Senior Citizens Club.

Through her social activities, and even during her free time, she took pleasure in knitting, crocheting, baking, cooking and gardening (she loved flowers). She also enjoyed swimming and spending time with her family and friends.

In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her husband: George Marcinko, who passed away in 2003.

Gizella will be lovingly remembered by her daughter: Gisele Jones and her husband Craig; son: George Marcinko and his wife Darrah; brother: Jim Svastics; grandchildren: Gavin, Ian and his wife Erin, Ashley and her husband Martin, Devon and his wife Tina, Jordan and his wife Renee, and seven greatgrandchildren.

Services will be private.

Arrangements are under the care of the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., Quakertown.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made, in Gizella’s memory, to the PBS Foundation, 1225 South Clark Street, Arlington, VA 22202 or the Sierra Club Commemoratives/Memorials, 2101 Webster Street, Suite 1300, Oakland, CA 94612.

I met Gizella about a year ago at the knitting and crochet group at senior center in Quakertown. She was a sweet lady who I enjoyed talking with and sharing a little time doing something we enjoyed. I will miss her at our little group.
