It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Amy E. Niosi (nee Parisi), age 41, of Wayne. Amy passed away peacefully on Thursday November 30, 2023 while receiving the loving care of her family.
She was born in Ridgewood, NJ and was the oldest of three children to James and Susan Parisi. At the age of four, Amy’s family moved to Howell, NJ where they resided for several years. When Amy was in sixth grade, her family moved to Maywood. While living in Maywood, she attended Hackensack High School where she excelled in Academics and was on the high school tennis team.
After graduating from Hackensack High School with the class of 2000, Amy attended Caldwell University where she studied English Literature. Amy graduated from Caldwell University in 2004 earning her Bachelor Degree and certification as a public school teacher. She found employment quickly at Paterson Catholic High School where she taught English Literature. Amy remained at Paterson Catholic for about seven years until accepting a position at Passaic Valley High School.
It was clear to everyone that knew Amy, that she had found her true calling in the vibrant world of high school English literature. With a genuine love for the written word, she embarked on a fulfilling journey as an English literature teacher. Amy's classroom was not just a space for learning; it was a judgement-free haven, an open door, and a safe place for all to vent and receive welcomed life advice. Amy reveled in the joy of introducing her students to the timeless classics, and the discussions that transcended the pages of textbooks. Amy's legacy as an inspiring educator will echo through the corridors of the high school and shaped the literary journeys of those fortunate enough to be her students. She was sincerely loved and respected by her students and colleagues. Throughout the years Amy's former students made a conscience effort to keep in touch with her. And in turn Amy did the same.
In 2008, while at a fund raiser in Hackensack, Amy met a handsome young man at the event named James Niosi. The two hit it off great and started to date for the next several years. As fate would have it, they fell in love and on July 8, 2012, Amy and Jim became husband and wife. The newlyweds settled in Ridgefield Park, NJ and resided there for about five years. While living there, they welcomed the birth of their first child, their daughter Ariel. The family moved to the Packanack Lake section of Wayne in 2016 where they welcomed their second child, their son John. The family has called Wayne their home ever since.
While living in Wayne, Amy was a member of the Packanack Mother’s Club. Amy also loved to read. You could often find her lost in the pages of old, wonderful stories, and classic novels. She was a joyful woman who simply adored animals and treasured keeping up with popular culture. But aside from all of Amy’s talents, hobbies, and interests, her greatest passion was for her family. Nothing in the world meant more to Amy than providing for and spending time with her family and friends. Amy and Jim cherished eleven years of loving and loyal marriage together. Amy was not only devoted to her family but was also truly dedicated to her Catholic Faith.
Amy was a remarkable woman, known for her warm and loving nature that embraced everyone surrounding her. Her caring and sweet demeanor made her a cherished presence in the lives of those fortunate enough to have known her. Amy had a unique ability to be upfront and honest, yet always maintained a deep respect for others. Her sincerity and straightforwardness were never harsh; instead, they were delivered with a gentle touch that left people appreciating her authenticity. What set Amy apart was her innate talent for connecting with others on a profound level. Whether through a shared laugh, a comforting gesture, or an empathetic conversation, she had a way of creating bonds that felt like a warm embrace, making her a beloved friend to everyone.
Amy will be forever remembered as a loving wife, mother, daughter and truly respected and loved educational figure. She will be sincerely missed by her family, friends, and colleagues.
Amy is survived by her husband Jimmy Niosi and her two children; Ariel and John, all of Wayne, NJ, her mother Susan Parisi of Wayne, two sisters; Amanda Tasca and her husband Steve of Vernon, NJ, and Alyssa Parisi of Wayne, three nieces; Eliana, Serafina, and Marabella, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family. Amy was predeceased by her father James Parisi in 2018.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Amy’s name may be made to the National Blue Army Shrine of our Lady of Fatima
