Jeanette Nelles (Colon) age 49 of Wayne died Monday, March 28, 2011 at the Mount Sinai Medical Center, NYC, after a one year battle with A.L.L., having the comfort of family by her side.
She was born in Manhattan, NY and raised in the Riverside Drive section of NYC. She graduated from Washington Irving High School, NYC with the Class of 1979. She continued her education for two more years at the Bronx Community College in New York. After college she worked for ten years at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, NY as an administrator in the Neurology Department having worked for the past fourteen years for Dr. Lila Nachtigall, NYC as an office manager.
Jeanette was a dedicated mother and found great satisfaction in seeing the accomplishments of her two sons Christopher and Spenser. Whether it was lacrosse, football, wrestling, marching band, jazz band or any other of her children’s functions she was always there for them. She was a very proud and dedicated mother. She also enjoyed planning vacations for her family and friends and sitting on the beach basking in the sun.
Jeanette met the love of her life Martin G. Nelles while living in the Riverside Section of New York. Martin lived across the street and they met on the block and dated for seven years. He proposed to Jeanette in riverside Park and they married on August 30, 1986 at the Corpus Christi RC Church at the intersection of Broadway and Amsterdam Ave., NYC. At their wedding they had over 200 people and honeymooned in Cancun Mexico.
She was the loving wife of twenty-four years to Martin G. Nelles; devoted mother of Christopher Nelles and Spenser Nelles both of Wayne; loved sister of Rebecca Colon of Bronx, NY; dear aunt of Alina, Marijke, Brianna and Ursula.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to “Martin Nelles” c/o 567 Ratzer Rd., Wayne, NJ 07470, to be used for a scholarship fund for Jeanette’s children, would be appreciated.
