ELIZABETH, NJ : Mourners remember 'fantastic grandmother' killed in NJ Transit bus crash on Friday, 26th August, 2016
Friends and family members gathered Friday to say goodbye to a woman who they said was full of life, and of love for her children and grandchildren.
Jesy Garcia, 49, was a passenger on the No. 13 NJ Transit bus that was driving north on Broad Street at about 6:05 a.m. on Aug. 19 when authorities say another commuter bus crashed into it. Garcia was killed in the crash, as was the driver of the other bus, 70-year-old Joseph Barthelus.Mourners remembered Garcia as a loving mother and grandmother at a wake at the Gorny and Gorny Funeral Home in Elizabeth Friday evening. Another public wake will be held Saturday morning from 9 to 10:30 a.m., with a private funeral service to follow.
"She was absolutely crazy about her family, especially her grandkids," said Jasmina Bosnjakovic, who attended Friday night's wake. That's the biggest tragedy because...she was a good mother, but she was a fantastic grandmother."
