Ellen S. Gulick ObituaryEllen Gulick, aged 89, passed away on June 24, 2025, in Neptune, New Jersey surrounded by her family. Born on October 12, 1935, Ellen dedicated much of her life to the field of education and community service. She served as a 7th grade English teacher at the Township of Ocean Junior High School before transitioning to a librarian role at Wayside School, from which she retired in 2004. Ellen's commitment to her community was evident through her volunteer work at the Township of Ocean Library and the Township of Ocean Historical Museum. She was a troop leader with the Monmouth Council of Girl Scouts and was also a water safety instructor for the American Red Cross.
An avid reader and a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, Ellen maintained a healthy and intellectually vibrant lifestyle. Her faith was an important part of her life, and she was a devoted parishioner at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Long Branch.
Ellen is survived by her son, Daniel Gulick and his wife Carolyn; daughters, Katie Rudd and her husband Doug, Cynthia Famularo and her wife Ruth; sister, Gale Soler; niece, Barbara Soler; brother-in-law, Jeff Gulick and his wife Sharon; cousin, Sister Joan Chittester and devoted canine companion Shaquira. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren, Daniel Gulick and his wife Megan, Jason Gulick and his husband Jake, Maggie Rudd, Brian Rudd and his wife Alaina, Kellie Teplitzky and her husband Christian, Emily Famularo, and Christopher Famularo; and her great-grandchildren, Kiersten, Jack, Lucy, Brent, and Connor. Ellen was preceded in death by her beloved husband, John (Jack) Gulick, her partner Robert Gouley and her brother Frank Schureman.
A funeral mass will be held on July 11, 2025, at 10:00 AM at St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church in Long Branch, followed by interment at Monmouth Memorial Park. All are invited to attend a celebration of Ellen's life at the Allenhurst Fire Department @ 1:00.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, the Society of the Little Flower, or the Township of Ocean Historical Museum honoring Ellen's spirit of generosity and community service.

Ellen and Gail (Schureman) were the closest sisters I ever had. We went on talking about all the things we did as kids and an hour before she went to God. i will always miss her and wait to see all of them there. I'lll get to New Jersey to be with Gail as fast as I can..... with love, Sr. Joan

Ellen was one of my WW members when our meetings were held at the Homestead Inn in Eatontown. I always enjoyed conversations I had with her. Her dedication to living a healthy life was so very impressive and she inspired other members with her words of wisdom and insight on her journey.

My deepest sympathies to the entire family and to Gale. It was obvious how much they loved each other and I´m sure Ellen´s death is a great loss for her and the entire family. What a wonderful role model she was for all!

Fondly,
Louise Crossan
