Obituary of Josephine E Tocci-Cornelison

Please share a memory of Josephine to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
Flemington, NJ - Josephine E. Tocci-Cornelison, 69, died October 18, 2016 after a fearless 8 year battle with Cancer. Her beauty radiated from her heart. Faith in God and love of family and friends sustained her in good times and bad, and inspired many. She was born September 28, 1947 in Franklin Township, NJ to her parents, Mary (Franz) and Sebastian Trezza, second generation vegetable truck farmers to the markets in Newark. She, like her brother Thomas P. Trezza (Trezza Contracting), who predeceased her, inherited a strong work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. Josephine worked a period of time for Johnson and Johnson Pharmaceutical, long enough to receive a retirement. While employed at Johnson and Johnson she completed qualifications and became a state certified, licensed Electrologist. She established and grew her business, Electrolysis by Jo, Raritan NJ, developing a dedicated following. Josephine is survived by her sister in law Patricia Trezza and son Patrick, and beloved husband, Richard Cornelison. They have three loving daughters and one son: Janine (Alex) Jaloway , Flemington; Nicole (Kenneth) Byra, Westfield; Celeste (Tim) McLaughlin, Hoboken; Chad (Robin) Cornelison, Springfield; five cherished grandchildren, Josephine Jaloway; Declan and Lainey McLaughlin; Lindsey and Evan Cornelison.
