Angeline Pezzuti, “Angie”, age 93 of Jacksonville, Florida and formerly of Wayne, died on Friday, February 12, 2010 at the Cyprus Village where she had lived since 1999.
Angie was born in Paterson and lived there until 1953. She was a graduate of Eastside High School with the class of 1934. Sometime there, in the middle 1930’s, Angie met Alphonse Pezzuti. They were both guests at a friend’s wedding and Alphonse was smitten right from the start. As the story goes, Angie might have played a little ‘hard to get’, but Al persevered. They were married in 1938 and honeymooned in Washington, DC. At the time, Washington was buried under heavy snow, much like it is today. Over the years, they travelled to Europe, Bermuda, all over the western United States, and took several cruises. They were a match made in Heaven and truly adored each other. They enjoyed 57 years of marriage before Al passed in 1995.
To everyone who knew Angie, she was a true lady; beautiful, gracious and kind. She was gregarious, but certainly not a ‘social butterfly’. She simply loved to be with others. She played Bridge twice a week and often volunteered at Little Sisters of the Poor in Totowa to feed the elderly (many of whom were actually younger than her!).
A child of Italian immigrant parents, Angie was a fantastic cook and her meatloaf was unlike anything you’d ever had before. She was always preparing the Holiday meals where everyone ate well.
Angie moved to Wayne in 1953 and lived there until 1999. She was an administrative assistant in the Wayne schools, including many years at Wayne Hills High School, before retiring in the mid 1970’s. She was a devout Catholic, actively involved in the original charter of Our Lady of the Valley RC Church in Wayne and a parishioner for many years. Her involvement with Our Lady of the Valley dates back to the times when they celebrated their first services in the gymnasium at Wayne Valley High School, which at that time was simply known as Wayne High School. Her Catholic faith was her foundation. She was very well read; enjoying novels, biographies, and history reading.
Angie is survived by her two devoted sons; John Pezzuti and his wife Bobbie of Jacksonville, FL, and Dr. Roger Pezzuti and his wife Margaret of Cape Elizabeth, ME, five grandchildren; John Jr. Pezzuti and his wife Bernadine of Erie, CO, Theresa Foskey and her husband Dan of Jacksonville, FL, Michele Pezzuti-Morse and her husband Jim of Portland, ME, Renee Robinson and her husband Chris of Kennebunk, ME, and Nicole Pezzuti and her husband Rick Jensen of Portland, OR, four great-grandchildren; Amanda and Brian Foskey of Jacksonville, FL, and Robby and Catalina Pezzuti of Erie, CO.
Donations in Angie’s memory to Little Sisters of the Poor St. Joseph's Home, 140 Shepherd Lane, Totowa, NJ 07512 or St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, 501 St. Jude Place, Memphis, TN 38105 would be greatly appreciated.
