Gemma was a parishioner of St Andrews Church in Westwood and attended the 9:00am daily mass faithfully with her husband Al. They enjoyed traveling together and spent more than two decades “snow birding” in Florida.
Gemma worked in the Pascack Valley High School cafeteria for many years and touched the lives of students in her own special way.
She is remembered as a loving, kind, devoted wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt and friend. Her favorite quote was “Family is Everything”.
