Mary A. Gelb, age 84 of Wayne, died peacefully on Friday, February 24, 2023. She's lived in Packanack Lake since 1974.
Mary grew up in St. Louis, Missouri and moved to the “fast-paced” northeast when she married Ed in 1962. After a career as an administrative assistant, she chose to focus her attention on raising her three daughters and creating a loving home where her children could thrive. Later in life, she traveled the world with her husband Edward and enjoyed her grandchildren. Mary was a devout Catholic, a humble person who loved to read and always enjoyed a good chat. She had a big, infectious smile, and was always eager to share it. She loved holidays and took joy in decorating for each and every one. Never missing a birthday, she always had a little something extra to give you, even when she hadn’t picked your name in the “Secret Santa” gift exchange. Mary will be missed by all. May she rest in peace with the Lord.
Mary is survived by her devoted husband of sixty-one years; Edward, and by their three daughters and grandchildren; Elizabeth Gelb-O'Connor and her husband Leo of Bernardsville, Mary Miceli and her husband Fred of Hillsborough and their children Christopher and Lilliana, and Carol Munir and husband Karim of Basking Ridge and their children Taylor and Kayla.
