Alice J. Tassoni (nee Erickson) age 86 of Wayne passed peacefully at her daughter’s home on Saturday, July 18, 2015.
She was born in Jersey City and graduated from Henry Snyder High School with the Class of 1946. After high school Alice entered a religious order in preparation for formation as a nun. This was only for a short time as she met a cute man named Joseph P. Tassoni and it was love at first sight. Alice and Joe married on July 16, 1956 and honeymooned at Niagara Falls, New York. They initially lived in Rutherford and moved to Clinton Lane in Wayne where they lived for forty years while raising their family.
Before her children came along Alice worked as an executive secretary for Howard Hughes at Trans World Airlines (TWA). Once the children came along she left the corporate workforce and dedicated herself to raising her family. Once her children were older she again entered the corporate life as an executive secretary for the Toshiba America Corporation in Wayne where she worked before retiring. When she retired she dedicated her time to being with her grandchildren. She was a great mother whose home cooked meals will be greatly missed. Her children have fond memories of summer trips to Bar Harbor, Maine where they visited for some thirty years. Alice loved to travel and had many fond memories and lasting friendships established with those trips. She loved being a grandmother and found great pride and joy in her grandchildren’s accomplishments. Alice was truly dedicated to her family and when asked where her favorite place to be was, the family responded: “she was happiest wherever her family was.”
Alice was a dedicated member of Saint Michaels Episcopal Church in Wayne where she truly felt the touch of the Holy Spirit. She was a long time member of the Alter Guild, Women’s Group, and enjoyed organizing various events at the church.
She was the loving wife of fifty-eight years to Joseph P. Tassoni, Sr. (1999); beloved mother of Elizabeth Jerlinski and her husband David of Harrisonburg, VA, Pamela Russo of Pompton Plains, and Joseph P. Tassoni, Jr. and his wife Maria of Dartmouth, MA; cherished grandmother of Bianca Rose Jerlinski and her fiancé Thomas Reynolds, Nicholas Tassoni, Elizabeth Tassoni, and Louis Russo; dear sister of Selma English of Wayne, Miriam Goldman of Daytona, FL, the late Elizabeth Bradford, Josephine Ciak, and Walter Erikson; devoted aunt to many loving nieces, nephews and their families.
