Wayne

Services

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic a private service will be held and a memorial service will be held later in August.

Alfreda “Fritzie” Fitzgerald (nee Weinhold), age 102, of Wayne passed away peacefully on June 24, 2020.

She was born in Paterson, New Jersey and moved to Wayne and lived there for over 80 years.  Fritzie was born in February of 1918 and in March the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918 began, so it appears she survived two pandemics refusing to yield to either.  Woodrow Wilson was President and War World I was still in progress.

At age 16 she met a 17-year-old Robert Fitzgerald and went on their first date to the movies.  Four years later on June 16, 1938 they were married.  During her lifetime she held many different jobs, seamstress, working making wire products for communications and as a school crossing guard for Wayne Township.  She had been a member of the Pompton Falls Volunteer Fire Department’s Women’s Auxiliary for over fifteen years.

Surviving her are one son, John and daughter-in-law Karen of Florida, two granddaughters, Stacy Rach of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Amy Meininger of Wantage, New Jersey, step granddaughter Christine Fitzgerald of Vernon, New Jersey and five great-grandsons.  Her husband Robert predeceased her in 2000 and her son Robert P. Fitzgerald predeceased her in 1947.
