Erla Jean Cullere (nee Jerlat) age 86 of Oakland passed peacefully on Tuesday, October 28, 2014.

She was born in Jersey City and lived in Dumont where she spent her formative years. She later lived in Oakland and then Wayne before returning to Oakland thirty-two years ago.

She was a member of the Calvary Assembly Church in Woodland Park.

Perhaps the most joyous thing in her life journey, besides the Lord and her family, was Ball Room and Tap dancing. She danced the night away on many-a dance floors in her day and she taught professional ball room dancing too. She was a true lover of animals, especially dogs and she passed that love on to her kids.

Surviving are her two daughters Karen Kirk and husband Bob of Cocoa, FL, and Kathy Danaher of Pompton Lakes; her one son Al Cullere and his wife Sue of Oakland; six grandchildren: Kim Gross and her husband Shane, Erich Erichsen, Katie Cardenas and her husband Jorge, Kerry Nicholson and her husband Aaron, Heather, and James Cullere and his wife Jenna; fifteen great-grandchildren: Stephanie, Alec, McKenzie, Angel, Summer, Jonathon, Titus, Klae, Kristina, Samuel, Brandie, Paige, Seth, James “LJ”, and Brody; her sister-in-law Marie Jerlat of Toms River; and her very best life-time friend Dolores Grazianni of Tenafly. Erla was predeceased by her brother Bill Jerlat, her granddaughter Heidi Cullere, and her brother-in-law John Erichsen.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Calvary Assembly would be appreciated.
