Alice M. Brown (nee Remington), age 86 of Wayne, passed away peacefully at home with her family at her bedside on Friday, March 1, 2013.
Alice was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. She married Alexander E. Brown, a successful self-employed tool-and-die maker, WWII Naval veteran and New Jersey resident. After her marriage, she had called NJ her home and remained in NJ for more than 75 years. She had resided in Wayne for the remainder of her life.
Alice and her husband Al were one of the first families to purchase a home in the newly, but not yet completely developed neighborhood on Sylvan Terrace off of a then small road called Valley Road which was at that time a rich farm land and home to X-cell Dairy Farms. Under the direction of Father James Rugel, Alice and her husband were key fundraisers for the building fund for OLV and instrumental in contributing to the construction of Our Lady of the Valley Church, R.C.
For many years, Alice became very well known a dedicated worker as Office Manager for Mr. Thomas Finn of Finn’s Mobile Home Park in Wayne. Alice also loved playing the NJ State Lottery and was the lucky winner of a quick pick, winning over $100,000 in the NJ Cash Five. She was an avid animal lover and supporter of animal rights.
Alice enjoyed being a cast member of the Senior Follies tap dancing for several years. She was also active in the Ladies Auxiliary and a frequent member at the Wayne Elks Lodge in Wayne. In later years, Alice worked for the Wayne Board of Education as a Teacher’s aide at George Washington Middle School where she became very popular and well-liked by the young students. Alice also made a brief attempt at running for the Wayne Council.
For the last 16 years, Alice resided and was cared for by her daughter and son-in-law and her three grandchildren. She passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her family. She was loved and will be greatly missed.
Alice is survived by her two daughters, Alice Essing of Kinnelon and Bonita Knierim of Wayne. She also has eight grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
