Julianne M. Lipnick

Julianne M. Lipnick, age 72, of Washington Township, NJ, passed away on September 12, 2025, after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer. She fought with incredible strength and grace, a testament to the resilience that defined her life.

Julianne was a beloved wife, devoted mother, cherished "Grammie," loving sister, sister-in-law, and aunt. She is survived by her husband, Reed, her daughter, Haleigh, and her son, Michael, who will carry forward her legacy of love, joy, and family devotion.

Julianne grew up in Cliffside Park, NJ, the daughter of Mary and Henry Kulesza, and the sister of Rich and Hank. She built a meaningful career in municipal government, serving the communities of Washington Township and Saddle River with dedication and integrity.

She had a deep and abiding faith, and found joy and strength in her church and her Cornerstone community. But above all, she treasured her family— especially the time spent with her beautiful grandchildren. Her zest for life was unmatched, and she truly knew how to live it to the fullest.

Julianne's warmth, laughter, and unwavering love will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
