Anna M. Baruth age 103 of Wayne died Saturday, February 9, 2008. Her passing was quiet and peaceful and, she just slipped away, after telling her family members who were present to “tell everyone I love them”.
She was born in Germany came to this country in 1926 at the age of twenty-one first settling in Englewood later living in West New York, New Jersey before moving to Wayne forty-one years ago. The family left Germany while the country was experiencing a depression. She often spoke of having wheel barrels of money that when taken to the store would only buy you a loaf of bread or a spool of thread. They would spend money as soon as they got it because tomorrow it would buy even less. Germany was going through very difficult times.
When she first arrived she lived in Englewood and worked as a Governess cooking and taking care of the young children for the Jones family who became famous in finance via the Dow Jones stock index. She later worked for Bergen County Judge Lebson in the same capacity. She retired from domestic work when she married Herman Baruth on June 5, 1932 and spent the rest of her life as a mother and exquisite home maker.
She leaves her family with many fond and loving memories of a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Even into her children’s adult life Mom maintained a decorum of nurturing and the Mother in charge. She was a wonderful cook and made the best potato pancakes and apple sauce in the whole world. She was a Mother in charge all the way to her passing.
Herman and Anna had fifty-three years of “excellent and wonderfully loving” marriage together until Herman’s passing in January of 1985.
Surviving are one daughter Joan Baruth of Wayne; two sons Herman W. Baruth Jr. and Fred C. Baruth and his former wife Astrid; four grandchildren David Baruth of Brooklyn, NY, Heather McCarthy and her husband Michael of Cicero, NY, Marilena Flynn and her husband Edward of Golden, Colorado and Colette Baruth of Wayne; three great grandchildren Payton and Casey McCarthy and Kelsey Flynn.
