Obituary: Geri Eltringham, 76, of Hazlet

She was a beautiful, strong, loving, proud Irish woman who married the love of her life 51 years ago and raised seven children.

Geri Eltringham, 76, of Hazlet, died on March 31, 2013, at home surrounded by her loving family. She was born in Jersey City, and lived in Hazlet for 45 years.

She was a beautiful, strong, loving, proud Irish woman who married the love of her life 51 years ago, raised seven children, was blessed with grandchildren who adored her, and was loved by family and friends. She had a strong will and spirit and always overlooked her own struggles. She was always more concerned for others than she was for herself. She was the person to call when you just needed to talk and was always there to listen. Her family was most important to her. She was very proud of her children and viewed them as her best accomplishment. She will be loved and missed by all who knew her.

Surviving are her devoted husband, Robert, three sons and daughters-in-law, Robert and Jacqueline Eltringham, Mark and Elaine Eltringham, Brian and Rema Eltringham; three daughters and sons-in-law, Jeanmarie and Joseph Settle, Joann and David Restuccio, and Kellie and Glen Varga; three sisters, Patricia Milne, Kathleen Mastroianni, Maureen Phillips; brother, William Murphy; 18 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.
