Mr. Gerald H. Bundens

June 23, 1932 - March 11, 2021

Gerald H. Bundens (Jerry), 88, of Gibbstown, died Thursday March 11, 2021 at home surrounded by his daughters. He is predeceased by his wife, Dolores M. Bundens (nee Muhlbaier). He is survived by his daughters, Nancy (Mark) Leipert, Karen (Bill) Bartel and Janet (Bill) Tomlinson; eight grandchildren, Brad (Christine) Leipert, Heather (Richard) Raively, Emily Leipert, Brian Bartel, Stephanie Bartel, Rebecca Tomlinson, Sean (Melissa) Bartel, and Andrew Tomlinson; two great granddaughters, Alice and Violet Leipert; newborn great grandson, Finley Bartel and his siblings, Harriet Young and Allan Bundens. Jerry was born to parents Herbert and Bessie Bundens in Paulsboro. He grew up in a family of seven children, Frances, Herbert, Allan, Claire, Harriet and Oran. He met the love of his life after their fathers met at work and he was invited to the Muhlbaier farm. They married on February 12 and enjoyed almost 66 years of marriage. Jerry proudly served in the Korean War from 1952 – 1954, achieving the rank of sergeant. He worked at DuPont in Gibbstown for over 30 years. He was a handyman around his house, repairing almost anything, but he had a talent for woodwork – constructing cabinets, shelves, decorations, sheds and garages. He worked with his neighbor on wrestling matches for the World Wide Wrestling Federation for a number of years. Most of all, he enjoyed and treasured his family – helping with projects, taking short trips or just spending time together. The Funeral Service will be held at 11 AM Tuesday March 16, 2021 in the McBride – Foley Funeral Home, 228 W. Broad St., Paulsboro. Relatives and friends may visit with the family Tuesday morning after 10 AM until service time. Interment Gloucester County Veterans Cemetery, Williamstown.
