Doris A. Goulding, 80, of Hamilton, NJ, passed away, peacefully, on Thursday, August 1, 2024.

Born in Trenton, New Jersey, she was a lifelong area resident. She graduated from Trenton Central High and was a member of Kappa Delta Phi. She worked for the State of New Jersey Department of Education and then dedicated her time to becoming a full-time homemaker, as spending time with family was her top priority. She loved to bake and was known for her famous Christmas cookies. Doris loved ceramics, playing cards, and dancing and could light up any room she entered. Above all, her greatest pleasure in life was spending time with her beloved granddaughters.

She was pre-deceased by her parents, Frank and Antoinette Abatto; brother, Benard Abatto; sister Geraldine Tomko, and twin brother, Michael Abatto. She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, John B. Goulding, Jr., daughter Maria, and husband Marzooq Alebus; two granddaughters, Alia Marie, and Rose Alebus; sister-in-law Marcia Goulding, as well as several nieces and nephews.

Doris gracefully endured a lifelong battle with Multiple Sclerosis, showing her immense strength and perseverance each day. With her positive attitude and devoted husband by her side, she fought every day with a smile on her face.
