Julia Chergey

Julia Chergey passed away on October 20, 2026, at the Hunterdon Medical Center in Flemington, New Jersey, just days before her 95th birthday, which would have been on October 23rd. Born in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, she was the daughter of the late John and Mary (Babko) Vagi.

Julia grew up on her family farm in Monmouth Junction, where she spent her early years tending to all sorts of animals. Those beginnings reflected a life shaped by steady work and everyday devotion. She was known as a private person but could still be the life of the party. Additionally, she was grace personified with her fine attire.

Over the years, Julia worked in a number of familiar local places. She was a waitress at the Somerville Inn for decades, and she also worked for Laneco, and most recently, was a cashier and greeter at ShopRite of Clinton, roles through which she became a recognizable and welcoming presence to many in the community. Julia's faith was important to her and she found peace through the South Ridge Community Church in Clinton.

Outside of work, Julia, affectionately called "Jules", enjoyed simple pleasures that brought connection and happiness. She loved playing Bunco with her friends and faithfully followed her beloved New York Yankees. She enjoyed the game and cheering on favorite players CC Sabathia and Aaron Judge.

Julia is survived by her daughter, Toni Lynn Mathias, of New Jersey. Toni would also like to acknowledge and sincerely thank her mother's dear friends, Dori Parker and Mary Haddon, whose constant love, care, and support was immeasurable. Finally, there are countless friends that deserve recognition for their care and love shown to Julia throughout the years.

Julia was preceded in death by her mother and father, Mary (Babko) and John Vagi; her brother, John Vagi; and her sisters, Helen Vamis and Ethel Nemeth.

Julia Chergey will be remembered for her hardworking nature and the relationships that shaped her life. May her memory bring comfort to those who knew and loved her.

A Celebration of Life will be planned some time in the Spring of 2027. Please check back to this webpage once more information is available.

Henrietta Josephine Dietrich

Henrietta Josephine Dietrich passed away peacefully on October 16, 2026, in her home in Flemington, New Jersey, four months shy of her 100th birthday. Born on February 20, 1927, in New York City, she lived a long and memorable life marked by independence, devotion to family, and enjoyment of life’s simple pleasures.

Raised in New York City, Henrietta graduated from the Central Commercial High School in 1944, having been advanced a year, and was remembered for her tenacious spirit from an early age. As a young woman, she worked as a switchboard operator and a secretary at a paper company in Manhattan. She often reminisced about what it was like growing up on the upper east side of New York City before she moved to West Nyack, NY and then on to Flemington, NJ.

Henrietta worked for many years as a secretary for the Rockland County (NY) Jail. She approached her work with dedication and steadiness, and she carried that same energy into the things she loved most outside of work. She met her husband at a wedding and accepted his marriage proposal on their second date. He was the love of her life, and they were married for 60 years until his passing in 2009.

She was a voracious reader of novels, enjoyed doing the New York Times crossword puzzles in ink, playing pinochle, and tending to her flower garden. She was an ardent lover of birds and also loved to share her many memories of saltwater fishing. She loved travelling and taking cruises but above and beyond all, Henrietta absolutely adored spending time with her five grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, who brought her deep happiness. She also loved her late Cocker Spaniel, Buddy, who held a special place in her heart.

Henrietta is survived by her son, Donald Paul Dietrich, Jr. of West Nyack NY, her daughter, Diane DiBianca, and son-in-law, Thomas DiBianca, of Stockton, New Jersey. She also leaves behind her five grandchildren, Allison Fasoli and her husband, Adam, Richard DiBianca and his wife Jamey and Marina, Elise, and Camille Dietrich. Her love continues through her four great-grandchildren Dillon, Jack, Maria and Aurelia. She will be remembered by her family with love and gratitude for the many moments, traditions, and experiences they shared together.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Donald Paul Dietrich; as well as by her father, Henry Horak; her mother, Josephine (Hampl) Horak; and her brother, Frank Cihlar.

Funeral arrangements and cremation services were under the direction of Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main St., Flemington NJ 08822. For further information or to leave an online condolence, please visit www.holcombefisher.com.

Henrietta J. Dietrich will be remembered as a woman of warmth, spirit and zest for life, whose long life touched her family across generations. Her memory will remain a lasting blessing to those who knew and loved her.

If you’ve lost a loved one, you may feel lost, unsure of what to do or afraid of what may happen next.
That’s perfectly normal!

But remember that you don’t have to do things on your own. When you’re at your weakest, you can rest on God’s strength. Look to him for comfort because he will never fail you.
