Bertha L. Gegarian, age 95 of Wayne, died suddenly on Saturday, September 20, 2014. Born and raised in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, Bertha moved to Wayne in 1968 with her parents and her family.
Bertha was a very proper woman and in many ways she was ahead of her time. As a young lady, she started her own business. She raised her two children in Brooklyn and was devoted to her family and community.
Bertha and her husband were married for fifty years before Benjamin passed away in 1997. Bertha and Benjamin came to Wayne in 1968 where she was active in school, Church and community events. Tragically, she lost her son Robert in 2002. She prayed daily and her Catholic faith was the foundation of her life and was devoted and prayed St. Jude. She was involved with her church and loved to cook for the various church groups. She enjoyed a great deal of satisfaction volunteering with the Church; St. Ann Melkite Catholic Church in Woodland Park, NJ.
Bertha is survived by her devoted daughter; Diane Moussa of Wayne, three grandchildren Nadine Youseff and her husband Atef of East Hanover, Brian Gegarian and his wife Edith of Florida, and Kyle Gegarian of Florida, three great grandchildren; Alexia and Elianna Youseff of East Hanover and Ryan Gegarian of Florida, one nephew: Richard Mazloom of Wayne, and two nieces; Rosemary Shabouk of Brooklyn and Evelyn Mazloom of Wayne.
