Julia A. Duderich (nee Sullivan) age 85 of Pompton Lakes, formerly of Lincoln Park, passed Monday, October 19, 2015.
She was born in New York City having been raised in the Bronx, New York. In the mid 1960’s, the family moved to Lincoln Park, New Jersey where Julia lived for thirty years and having recently lived in Pompton Lakes and Wayne.
Before dedicating herself to raising her family, Julia worked for the telephone company in New York serving as a payroll accountant for over 800 employees. She married George Duderich after initially meeting him on a blind date. They married on November 16, 1957 at St. Rose of Lima in New York. They had a marriage best described as “two peas in a pod.” They honeymooned in Montreal, Canada and that was the first and only time Julia ever got on an airplane. They went everywhere and did everything together; whether it was grocery shopping or simply a trip to the Willowbrook Mall – they were inseparable. Julia never got her driver’s license. She did try once; but after not passing the test, she and everyone else thought it better she not get behind the wheel.
Julia was dedicated to her Catholic faith. For many years she was a parishioner of Saint Joseph’s RC Church in Lincoln Park and more recently at Saint Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes. For many years, she was a member of the Saint Mary’s Seniors where she enjoyed all types of activities with her friends.
Julia had a great sense of humor, loved all kinds of sports and especially loved the NY Giants and NY Yankees. She was dedicated to her family and during her sons’ formative years; both she and George would sit in folding chairs and were regulars at their sons' baseball games shelling peanuts for hours. She was very creative with needlepoint, sewing, and proud of her Irish heritage. She loved to bake and loved to make cookies and cakes. Julia had a sweet tooth a mile wide. When she would eat at a restaurant, she would look at the desserts first and often try to order one dessert to eat and one to take home for later.
Julia was the loving wife of 36 years to the late George Duderich (1993); loving mother of Michael Duderich and his wife Patricia of Wayne, Barbara Mennella and her husband Thomas of Wayne, and Ed Duderich and his wife Karen of Pompton Lakes; cherished and adored grandmother of Christopher Duderich and his fiancé Kaitlin Lavoie of Weehawken, Kelly Duderich of Arlington, VA, Timothy Mennella of Wayne, Jennifer Mennella of Wayne, Brian Duderich of Pompton Lakes, and Kyleigh Duderich also of Pompton Lakes; dear sister of the late Thomas Sullivan and John Sullivan.
