Anna Misajet

Anna Annastaza Misajet (nee Staskowski), age 90, of Wayne left us on September 29, 2024.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, to Stella and Leo Staskowski, she was one of eight children. Anna was a city girl who loved baseball and her beloved Brooklyn Dodgers. She often told stories of going to Ebbets Field with her friends. She eventually became a fan of the N.Y. Yankees, watching every game even until her death. She worked at the Equitable as a secretary and in 1957 married Raymond Misajet.

Anna and Raymond lived in Paterson and eventually built a home in Wayne where she still resided. They had five children who married and eventually sixteen grandchildren and four great grandchildren. They loved to dance and spent many wonderful years together dancing the Cha-Cha and never passing an opportunity to hit the dance floor for a good Polka. Anna was affectionately known as Babcia and enjoyed being with her grandchildren, celebrating their lives and accomplishments.

She is a member of Holy Spirit parish in Pequannock. She and Ray were strong in their Catholic faith instilling in all of their children the importance of God and family.

She was a member of the Columbiettes, Regina Mundi Council 3969, enjoying the friendships and company of her fellow Columbiettes for more than fifty years. She held many offices in the organization including President (several times) eventually acquiring the distinguished title of Past President. Anna also went on in the organization to become a President and Past President of the New Jersey State Council of Columbiettes. She remained an active member of the Columbiettes until her death. She enjoyed the friendships of the women who shared her religious values and commitment to the church and God.

She loved life and lived every day until her last. She is survived by her brother, Raymond and sister, Francis.
