Everyone is kindly asked to arrive at the church on Tuesday morning at 9:45 a.m. and to follow the instructions of the Wright & Ford Care Team Family Ambassadors upon arrival.

Gloria A. Gwizdz (nee DeCecchis), 90, devoted wife of the late Edward R. Gwizdz and adoring mother of Geraldine, Gregory and his wife, Marion, and Geoffrey and his wife, Tina, peacefully left this earth on Friday, October 13, 2023, with her loving family at her side.

Gloria was born to Florence (nee Ferrara) and Orlando DeCecchis and was raised in the Peterstown section of Elizabeth, NJ. She was first generation Italian American and had great pride in her heritage.

Gloria married the love of her life, her Polish Prince, Edward, and they settled in Union, NJ, with their three beautiful children. In addition to raising her three children, Gloria worked as a Bookkeeper at J. Rothenberg & Son jewelers in Millburn, NJ, and traveled the world with her husband.

Later in her life Gloria relocated to Flemington, NJ, to be close to her family. She spent her time volunteering at the Hunterdon Medical Center gift shop, playing mah-jongg with friends, and practicing her faith at St. Magdalen Church. Gloria was an avid New York Yankees fan that never missed a game.

Above all though, Gloria’s greatest gift was her grandchildren, Arabella and her husband Christian, Rebecca, Matthew, Sophia, Emily, Madison, Courtney, and Abby, who were the sunshines of her life. Gloria passed along to them the values of family and faith, and left an immeasurable impact on their lives. To her grandchildren, she was affectionately known as Nonnie, a bit of her Italian heritage that she carried with her every day.

A Mass of Christian Burial officiated by Rev. Matthew Marinelli will take place on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., at St. Magdalen Church, 105 Mine Street, Flemington, NJ. Everyone is kindly asked to arrive at the church on Tuesday morning at 9:45 a.m. and to follow the instructions of the Wright & Ford Care Team Family Ambassadors upon arrival.

Burial at Washington Crossing National Cemetery, Newtown, PA, will take place privately at a later date.

Arrangements are under the care and direction of Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 38 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ.

You are encouraged to visit Gloria’s permanent life celebration site at www.wrightfamily.com to light a candle of hope, leave messages of condolence, share words of comfort and recollection, and post photographs of her life.

My sincere condolences to the Gwizdz families. Gloria was one of my favorite people and we worked together for almost 20 years. She was always happy, showing up in life with a wonderful and positive attitude. We shared many laughs and always managed to stay in touch long after she retired. Gloria will always have a special place in my heart and I will always remember her smile. I miss you Gloria and I love you forever! ❤️

To the entire Gwizdz family, my thoughts are with you as you mourn the loss of your mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. I am lucky to have known “Non” through my dear friend Arabella. Non was beautiful, welcoming, warm, and funny. She was the kind of Grandma I always wished I had had! Sending all my love to Arabella & Christian, Rebecca, Sophia, and Geri. I hope that Non is at peace and with her Polish Prince once again.

Sincere condolences to all of Gloria's family. I knew her briefly but felt a kinship with her as she was so friendly. Her smile and laughter will surely be missed.

Gloria was like a second mom to me when I was a teenager, and I will always cherish the memories that I have of her along with the entire Gwizdz family. May the beautiful memories that you have of your mother carry you through the difficult days ahead. Rest in peace Gloria.

Sending all our love to the entire family during this difficult time. We know Gloria is watching over you all from above.

Gloria has a special place in my heart. She was a great friend and our age difference was never an issue. I used to love going to visit her, we would always find something to talk about. Even the past few weeks when I couldn't go see her, we talked on the phone almost every other day. She is at peace now, but I will miss her terribly. RIP my friend

Dear Geri, My heart is with you, your girls and your family. I hope the loving closeness of your family offers comfort and peace now and forever.

I was so sad to hear of my dear friend's passing. Gloria was a bright spot in my life. We were neighbors for 31 years in Union, NJ. We shared many good times together and created fond memories. May she rest in peace with her dear Edward.

To all of you,may you find peace and a happiness in your memories. You are a wonderful close family that will help each other during the sad times. Gloria was a bright light and what a wonderful picture of her. Just perfect

We shared a quick wit and a zest for the fun in life. Gloria was one of my favorite neighbors here in Geezerville. She was a joy to be around and I will miss her dearly.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
