Margaret Josephine Tettemer

Margaret “Peggy” Josephine Tettemer, age 85 years, a long-time resident of Hunterdon County, New Jersey, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 30, 2026, at her daughter’s home in Holland Township, NJ. Born on August 28, 1940, in Somerville, NJ, Peggy was the daughter of the late Frederick and Josephine (Nelson) Gunther.

Peggy had many jobs throughout her lifetime, spanning childcare and even cleanroom technician for a computer chipmaker, but no job was more important to her than that of mother and grandmother. She spent much of her time taking care of her family and cherished her grandchildren more than anything. She was known for her vibrant personality—an outgoing, kind individual who loved to engage with others and possessed the "gift of gab." She connected with people easily and was sure to share a thoughtful story for any occasion. Her ability to connect with people was a fundamental part of who she was, making her a beloved friend to many.

Peggy had a magical knack for finding four-leaf clovers, and she would give them to friends and loved ones. She would also crochet, generously creating and gifting blankets that brought comfort and warmth to family and friends over the years. One of her favorite things to do was vacationing on Lake Seymour in Morgan, Vermont, reflecting her love of nature and cherished memories with friends up there.

Family was the cornerstone of Peggy’s life. She was proud and grateful to have been able to care for and spend quality time with all six of her grandchildren—Zoe, Andi, Zac, Alexa, Ava, and Draven—which she counted among her highest blessings. She is survived by her three daughters: Peggy Rischawy and her husband Jonathan, of Flemington, NJ; JoAnn Sweeney, of Holland Township, NJ; and Julia Zanetti and her fiancé Justin Anchinsko, also of Flemington, NJ. Additionally, Margaret is survived by her three siblings: Shirley Hastings of Stockton, NJ; Alice Strawser of Lebanon, NJ; and John Gunther of Hillsborough, NJ; as well as William Tettemer of Stockton, NJ, and several extended family members who remember her fondly.

Peggy was preceded in death by her husband, George Gregory Zanetti, who passed away in 1992, her brother Frederick Gunther, and her parents. Their memories remain an integral part of her legacy.

A visitation will be held at the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, located at 147 Main Street in Flemington, New Jersey, on Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. This will be followed by a memorial service at the same location from 2:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. Family, friends, and community members are invited to honor and celebrate the life of Margaret Josephine Tettemer.

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

Francine K. Shamatovich

Francine K. Shamatovich, age 85 years, of Kingwood Township, NJ, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 29, 2026, at the Rolling Hills Care Center in Lebanon, NJ. Born on January 31, 1941, in Manhattan, NY, and growing up in Forest Hills, Queens, NY, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Katherine (Titzler) Stellitano.

A 1958 graduate of Hunterdon Central High School, Francine dedicated much of her professional life to supporting the legal and charitable sectors. She began her career as a legal secretary at the law firm of Large, Scammell & Danziger, LLC, in Flemington, NJ. Later, she continued her commitment to helping others by working as a clerk for Catholic Charities in Flemington, where her efforts left a lasting impression among colleagues and those she served.

Francine’s proudest accomplishments reflected her steadfast Catholic faith as a communicant of St. Magdalen de Pazzi Roman Catholic Church in Flemington. Her faith was a cornerstone of her life and provided her with strength and inspiration through both joyful and challenging times.

During Francine's earlier years, she enjoyed the beach with her friends and family. She took great joy in preparing meals with and for her family, especially around holidays throughout the year. Summertime was one of her favorites, always welcoming anyone to come by for a swim and a picnic, her favorite dessert being strawberry shortcake. Francine enjoyed watching her grandchildren grow and always looked to celebrate their special moments and accomplishments. With great pride, she could be seen at many baseball games and other events of her grandchildren, as she also did with her children when there was a baseball game, swimming event, and other occasions. Francine also enjoyed taking the RV out with Paul, whether locally to Ringing Rocks or to Connecticut to visit family.

Francine treasured her children and grandchildren, preserving every token of affection exchanged between them throughout her life. Francine is survived by her son and daughter-in-law, Darin and Tammy Bishop of Kingwood Township, NJ; her grandchildren, Christopher Tallamy, Kaitlyn Tallamy, and their father Glenn Tallamy, Zachary Bishop, and Brandon Bishop; as well as her stepdaughter, Jennifer Murphy, and her husband, Timothy, of Alexandria Township, NJ. She is also survived by her sisters, Margaret Thorne and Brenda Bacsa, along with several other beloved extended family members.

Francine was predeceased by her devoted husband of over thirty years, Paul Shamatovich; her daughter, Donna Tallamy; her stepdaughter Susan Hopta and two siblings, Frank Stellitano and Kathy Gmitter.

Jean Fialka

Jean Fialka, a cherished homemaker whose warmth and loving spirit touched the lives of many, passed away peacefully on May 30, 2026, in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. Born on May 23, 1934, in Somerville, New Jersey, Jean lived a life marked by devotion to her family, a vibrant social presence, and an enduring zest for life’s simple pleasures.

A devoted mother and grandmother, Jean’s greatest joy came from her beloved daughter, Karin Fialka, and her treasured grandchildren, Tayner and Kaitlin. Their love was the cornerstone of her life, and she delighted in the happiness they brought her every day. Jean’s home was a haven of love and laughter, filled with the warmth that only a caring mother and grandmother could provide.

Jean was a loyal companion and friend, remembered for her unwavering positive outlook and a radiant smile that could brighten any room regardless of circumstance. Her friendships were marked by kindness and genuine affection, reflecting the deep care she extended to those around her. Jean also shared a special bond with the family dogs, animals who held a cherished place in her heart and home.

Her passions and pastimes revealed a woman who embraced life with enthusiasm and joy. Jean had a particular fondness for games—be it board games, card games, or lively matches of Rummikub played at the pool house. She found delight in retail therapy and relaxation, enjoying shopping excursions and unwinding in front of her favorite television shows. Never one to overlook her own self-care, Jean regularly visited the salon, where she kept her hair and nails exquisitely done, always presenting her best self to the world.

Jean's love for comfort food was well known among family and friends. She especially appreciated a great slice of pizza and a classic eggplant parmesan, dishes that brought her much comfort and satisfaction. Her lifelong sweet tooth was a constant source of joy; she adored chocolate-covered raspberries and never declined a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream, treats that symbolized the small, delightful indulgences she cherished.

Jean’s family heritage is rooted deeply in New Jersey. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, John M. Conover and Jeanette Conover, and her loving spouse, John Fialka. She is survived by her dear daughter, Karin Fialka, her grandchildren, Tayner Blackburn and Kaitlin Blackburn, and her brothers, John Conover and Edward Conover, who carry forward her legacy of love and kindness.

In remembering Jean Fialka, one recalls a life beautifully lived—a life dedicated to family, friendship, and the joyous embrace of everyday moments. Her spirit remains with all who knew her, a gentle reminder of the power of love, happiness, and grace.

A private graveside service will be held in Three Bridges Cemetery under the direction of the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main Street, Flemington, NJ.

Henry C. Lincoln, Jr.

Henry C. Lincoln, Jr., passed away on Friday, May 28, 2026, in Flemington, New Jersey. Born on November 18, 1964, in Fall River, Massachusetts, Henry lived a life marked by his devotion to enjoying the little things, his passion for nature and music, and his love for family and friends.

Henry graduated from the University of Hartford in 1986 and became an English teacher who inspired countless students with his commitment to learning and his engaging teaching style.

Later in life, his passion turned to coaching his son, Brent, in baseball, where he was Little League director and a mentor to countless athletes over the years. His dedication was undeniable.

Henry's interests were as diverse as they were enriching. An avid bird-watcher and photographer, he found solace and joy in observing the subtle beauties of nature. He would spend countless hours waiting for the perfect shot of an eagle flying by or a bird perched in its nest. His photos were true works of art…

Hank, as he went by, was also an avid disc golfer, playing every course he could find. From putting in the backyard to traveling the coast to find the best course, disc golf gave him a newfound peace in life and a way to bond with friends and family.

Hank truly enjoyed the rhythms of music and embraced the adventure of traveling, all of which underscored a life lived with curiosity and joy. Whether it was going to see his favorite bands, the Grateful Dead, Gov’t Mule, or JJ Grey and Mofro, Hank would never pass up the opportunity to catch any show, no matter how small or how far away. Music was a staple and driving force of adventure in his life, and so many friends gathered around him to just enjoy the music. "If you get confused, listen to the music play..."

He is survived by his son, Brent Lincoln, who carries forward his father's legacy; his sister, Virginia Lincoln; his brother, Edward Lincoln; and his significant other, Johnna DiSanto, who stood by his side as a steadfast life partner through life’s journey. Henry was preceded in death by his father, Henry C. Lincoln, and his mother, Grace Lincoln, whose memories live on in the hearts of those who knew Henry best. Henry C. Lincoln, Jr.’s life was a testament to the power of dedication, kindness, and enthusiasm. His presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him, and his impact will continue to resonate through the many lives he touched.

Cremation services will be held privately under the direction of the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main Street, Flemington, NJ.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to the National Audubon Society to protect the birds Hank loved so dearly.

Gerald Thomas Misiak

Born on March 15, 1944, and raised in Plainfield, New Jersey, Jerry spent his youth enjoying summers on the Jersey Shore working as a dashingly handsome lifeguard—a time that sparked a lifelong love for the beach, the boardwalk, and the vibrant energy of the coast. Jerry went on to answer the call of his country, serving with honor and distinction as a soldier in the Vietnam War, a chapter of his life of which he was profoundly proud.

To know Jerry was to know joy. He was a man who truly lit up every room he walked into, armed with an unforgettable smile, an outgoing personality, and a sharp, infectious sense of humor. He never met a stranger he didn't like, loved to dance, possessed a deep passion for the music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s, and had a remarkably generous spirit. He was also the proud original owner of a '67 Corvette, a prized possession he kept and cherished until the very end. Above all else, Jerry was fiercely loyal. He loved his family with every ounce of his being and would defend them until the absolute end.

Jerry’s legacy of love, laughter, and strength lives on through his beloved wife, Judith Misiak, and his four children and eight grandchildren, who were his absolute pride and joy: Sherry and her husband Tom Treney, and their son Alex; Tracie Ricksgers, and her children Anslee and Mason; Chris and his wife Jen Misiak, and their children Christopher, Brody, and Michael; and Jamie and her husband Brian Vinciguerra, and their children Daine and Leigh.

Jerry passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on May 27, 2026. He will be deeply missed, but his laughter will echo in the hearts of his family forever, and his signature smile will never be forgotten. As he'd be the first to tell you, "He was one helluva guy."

Funeral arrangements and burial in Hillside Cemetery in Scotch Plains NJ will be private and under the direction of Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main St., Flemington NJ. We would all like to remember, reflect and celebrate a man whose joy, laughter and spirit will live on with each of us.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Jerry's honor to the Associates Of Vietnam Veterans Of America or the New Jersey Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial Foundation, Inc. by clicking the links below.
