Adeline "Dolly" Scaglione (Pasqua) age 96, of Pompton Plains passed peacefully at home on Saturday, August 26, 2017. She was born in Hoboken to Giovina and Davide Pasqua and was raised in Fairview. As a young woman, Dolly worked as a seamstress and was a member of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union. Dolly has sewn almost every type of garment including her own dresses, her children's special Sunday clothes and all their Halloween costumes.
Dolly married Cirino "Red" Scaglione when he returned from WWII in 1946. They resided in Cliffside Park where they raised their three children, Carol, Elaine and Bill. Dolly was a stay-at-home mom who dedicated herself to raising her family. Later, when the children were older, she enjoyed working as a Cafeteria Lady at Cliffside Park High School.
Dolly moved to Palisades Park where she was a very active member of the Ridgefield Senior Citizens. She especially enjoyed line dancing where most participants followed her moves. She took countless day trips to AC, theatre shows, holiday luncheons, trips to Hawaii and San Francisco. Dolly was the lady who cut the cake at bingo and card day (because she cut them the best). She loved card games and everyone always played by "Dolly's Rules". She had a regular weekly canasta group that always instilled lots of laughs and yelling when someone went out unexpectedly. The night always ended with a shot of Drambuie for all.
Dolly was a fabulous cook and baker. We will always remember her roasted red peppers with lots of fresh garlic and olive oil, her from scratch pasta for her lasagna, manicotti, gnocchi and noodles to name a few. As for sweets, anise biscuits, walnut tarts (a/k/a Dolly Tarts), fluffy cheesecake and her famous Birthday Cake. She made The Birthday Cake for everyone's birthday. It was through her cooking that Dolly showed her love for family and friends. She was independent and outgoing, and at times, a feisty and no-nonsense woman. But you could always count on her to lend a helping hand to those around her.
Dolly was the loving wife of 34 years to the late Red Scaglione who predeceased her in 1980. She was the devoted mother of Carol Calvi, husband Louis of Hasbrouck Heights, Elaine Baccarella, husband Pasquale of Pequannock, and Bill Scaglione, wife Janet of Albany, CA. She was the cherished grandmother of Peter Teubner, Matthew Calvi, Sherry Manning, Damian Baccarella, Stephanie Koerella, Gabriel Scaglione and Laura Scaglione. She had six great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her three brothers Angelo, John and Anthony.
In her later years she lived at Cedar Crest Village, Pompton Plains. There she was a master of crocheting and over the years made and gave away hundreds of doilies to the employees and friends. Everyone knew her as the "Doily Lady". During the Belmont Friday Happy Hour she was probably best known as the lady who danced while the pianist, Wanda, played "Hello Dolly" with everyone singing along. Dolly could not sit still while any good music was playing. Even dancing to the music in the middle of the Willowbrook Mall with her walker. There are probably a few cell phone videos of her dancing as people stopped and enjoyed watching her boogie.
The family is very grateful to Adelaide Manu, mom's live in aide, for her devoted and loving care of Dolly for the past five years.
