Adele J. Verdi (nee Uzar), age 64 of Wayne, died on Feb. 16, 2018 after a two year battle with cancer. She had lived in Wayne since 1990.
Adele had worked as a Credit Manager throughout her career. She was with Panasonic for thirty years and then more recently with Ricoh USA in West Caldwell before retiring in 2013. She suffered a small stroke shortly afterward. Adele earned an Associates Certificate at Panasonic from Dunn and Bradstreet.
Adele grew up in Garfield and Elmwood Park, graduating from Elmwood Park High School with the class of 1971. Adele and Ed met in February, 1974 ... almost to the day. Ed Verdi found her beautiful green eyes to be irresistible, and they fell head over heals in love. They were married on October 16, 1977 at St. John Kanty RC Church in Clifton, followed by a honeymoon to Pennsylvania. They have enjoyed a “wonderful” marriage of over forty years, complete with lots of fun and good memories. Ed recalls how Adele was always smiling and happy, although she certainly had strong opinions about some things. Adele and Ed liked to "play" and enjoyed teasing one another. They traveled together often and Acadia National Park was among their favorite destinations, a place they have visited in excess of thirty times! Adele loved to hike along the shoreline and through the woods with Ed at her side. Adele’s love of seafood no doubt endeared her to such a place as the State of Maine. The first few years, they "named" each lobster. She almost reached "Z" twice! She enjoyed bringing back a dozen or so lobsters and having a party with her parents and brothers. Dad and Ed had steaks. She loved her parents and brothers and sisters dearly. She was hostess to a huge Christmas dinner every year inviting the entire family. Lobster, sashimi, and linguini with white clam sauce were among her favorite meals. Adele loved to go for long rides with the roof dawn as well as going sight seeing. For the entire time they had together, they were inseparable.Ed’s heart is broken and he will miss his beloved Adele dearly.
Adele is survived by her husband; M. Edward Verdi of Wayne, three sisters; Joanna Dioniseo, Diane Cochara, and Maryann Uzar, two brothers’ Joseph and John Uzar, two sisters-in-law; Patricia Ogawa of Toms River and Ellen O’Sullivan of Beverly Hills, Florida, and many nieces and nephews.
