Obituary for Judith B Gelles

Judy was a Customer Service Representative at McGraw-Hill until she retired. Judy was amongst the many brave people who fought and survived breast cancer. As a result, Judy often reflected on being part of the movement towards better treatments and a cure.

Judy is survived by her two sons and very endeared daughters-in-law, Adam and Angela Gelles and Colin and Mary Gelles. She was the “over the moon” proud Nana of her four grandchildren Janine, Brad, Alice, and Dylan whom she endearingly referred to as “her babies”.
