Julia M. Benedict (nee Famiglietti) age 96 of Wayne, passed away on Tuesday, April 15, 2008.
She was born on April 25, 1911 in Jersey City. She lived on Orchard Street for eight years before she moved to Reed Street. She was a graduate from Lincoln High School, Jersey City in 1929. After she married Charles Benedict, she moved into an apartment across the street from her parents. Eventually she and her husband moved back to the family home to care for her ailing mother.
She was a member of the Mother’s Club at St. Dominic’s Academy where her two daughters, Marie and Barbara, attended and graduated. Her son Charles attended and graduated from Hudson Catholic High School.
Julia enjoyed knitting and crocheting baby sets and blankets. Many of her creations were passed down to her great grandchildren. Her favorite activity was dancing especially the polka.
She was the beloved wife of sixty years to the late Charles P. Benedict (1997); loving mother of Marie Petronzio and her husband Renard of Somerdale, Barbara Lanni and her husband Nicholas of Wayne, and Charles Benedict and his wife Maureen of Hazlet; cherished grandmother of Lisa M.
