He predeceased her in 1963. She met her second husband, Andrew Bohan at the same restaurant; he predeceased her in 1971. Helen met Stephen Shark at Holy Resurrection Church, Wayne; and they were married 20 years until he passed away in 2002.
She is the beloved mother Jeffrey Gernitis and his wife Maria of West Milford and Cathy Pelaez and her husband Armando of Mahwah and loving sister of Charles Gresko and his wife Rose of Wayne, Michael Gresko also of Wayne and the late John and Nicholas Gresko and Ann Kychak, Ella Schwarz and Anastasia Gresko; cherished grandmother of Timothy and Mark Gernitis.
