Ada Mae Breeman

Ada Mae Breeman, 92 of Wayne, died on Wednesday, July 31, 2024. She had lived in Prospect Park before moving to Wayne more than thirty years ago.

“Mae,” as she was known to most, had been a bookkeeper throughout the years, working for her husband's accounting business.  After his death, she worked at the N. Haledon Board of Education, Thermatics Corporation in Lincoln Park, and Towne Lawn Irrigation in Wayne.  After retiring, she volunteered at the Chilton Hospital offices. She served as the treasurer for many years at the Brittany Chase Condo Association in Wayne. She was very organized, loved accounting, and at her age she adapted quickly to using computers, did all of her banking online, and all of her grandchildren knew that using email was the quickest way to get in touch with their grandmother. Visits and time spent with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were a treasure to her!

Mae’s hobbies included knitting and crocheting. She had crocheted countless blankets and other items, almost all of which were donated to Lighthouse Pregnancy Resource Center and the Veterans. She also enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and word finds to keep her mind sharp!

She was a faithful member of the Free Reformed Church of Pompton Plains, NJ.

Mae is survived by her three children: Kenneth Breeman and his wife Barbara of Towaco, Doris Prol of Boonton Township, and Donald Breeman and his wife Barbara of Wayne, eight grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Edwin, in 1991 and by her sister Wilma Mol in 2013.
