Alice W. Vitale (Van Houten) age 81 of Franklin Lakes died Monday, January 10, 2011 with the comfort of her husband by her side.
She was born in Hawthorne and lived in Fair Lawn, Paterson and Wayne before moving to Franklin Lakes fifty years ago.
She graduated from Fair Lawn High School with the Class of 1947.
Before she was married Alice worked as a bookkeeper for the Haband Store in Paterson. Alice married Armando Vitale on July 23, 1949 at Saint Paul’s Episcopal Church, Paterson. They honeymooned at Niagara Falls, NY and rode horseback, something Alice was very comfortable with - Armando not so much.
She is best described as a shy and quiet person, she was voted “most bashful” in high school, but also had a very strong, take charge personality. She was extremely devoted to her husband and family and always had a calming, caring, motherly, way about her. She enjoyed reading, doing crossword puzzles and enjoyed sewing.
Alice was the beloved wife of sixty-one years to Armando Vitale; loving mother of Joyce A. Riley and her husband John of Bloomsburg, PA and Elaine M. Kaufman and her husband Benjamin of Hopewell Junction, NY loved sister of Jean Luthringer and her husband Albert of Monroe Township and Doris McDonough of Morgan Hills, CA; cherished grandmother of John Riley, Paul Riley and his wife Bryn Benford, David Kaufman and his wife Dianna Chan, Steven Kaufman and his wife Natalie Dolce and Michael Kaufman.
