AnnaMarie Fritts (Coccari) age 67 of Wayne died peacefully Wednesday, October 31, 2012.
She was born in Paterson having lived in West Paterson and Little Falls in her youth. She graduated from Passaic Valley High School with the Class of 1963. AnnaMarie continued her education at Monmouth College in Long Branch where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Education with the Class of 1967.
Her career started with the Wayne Board of Education where she taught Second Grade at the James Fallon School. She took a leave of absence when she had her first son and returned to the Wayne Board of Education where she taught Third Grade at the Pines Lake School. Again she took a leave of absence to have her second son followed by having her third son. After the boys were a little older she found employment and worked her way up to Manager of the Telecommunications Department with the Interactive Marketing Group in Ramsey. After several years she left to care for her ailing mother Frances Coccari who passed in March of 2010.
AnnaMarie was extremely dedicated to her sons and could often be found helping as a class mom or joining other parents in neighborhood playgroups. In her spare time she enjoyed reading.
She was dedicated to her Catholic Faith and was a parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne.
AnnaMarie and Thomas Fritts were down the street neighbors but met years later when Tom returned from the serving in the military and found a job at the corner gas station. He flirted with AnnaMarie when she would come to the station, and soon they were dating and fell in love. After Tom made a formal request, with AnnaMarie’s parents for her hand in marriage, they married on October 23, 1971 at Holy Angels RC Church in Little Falls. They have enjoyed a loving and devoted marriage for the past forty-one years.
AnnaMarie was the loving wife of Thomas Fritts; devoted mother of Thomas Fritts, Jr. and his wife Monique of Titusville, Florida, Brian Fritts and his wife Janet of Florham Park, and Sean Fritts and his fiancé Corissa of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Collin, Deja, Nathan, Sophia, Aubrey and Ryan; loved sister of Frank Coccari of Watertown, NY.
