Anna P. Hennig (nee Murphy), age 87 of Wayne, died peacefully on Tuesday, October 6, 2015. She had been a resident of Packanack Lake in Wayne since 1972 and moved to Sisco Village in the mid 1990’s.
Anna grew up in Union City, NJ and graduated from St. Michael’s High School. She was the youngest of seven children in her family and enjoyed a fun childhood with many of her cousins living throughout the neighborhood. She met her husband Fred during high school and they were married on March 31, 1951 at Holy Family Church, Union City. They lived in Matawan, NJ for a number of years before moving to Wayne in 1972, first in Packanack Lake and later in Edward Sisco Village where she had lived ever since. They traveled together over the years, visiting Hawaii, the Bahamas and religious sites in Europe. They were both selfless people, almost to a fault, and their children can’t recall them ever having a fight. Perhaps that was part of the reason they were able to celebrate 63 years of devoted and loving marriage before Fred passed away last year. Needless to say, they set a wonderful example for their children and grandchildren.
She enjoyed bingo at church, the Wayne PAL, and just about anywhere else there was a game being played. She also liked to keep her mind sharp and completed the New York Times Magazine crossword puzzle without fail. She finished it every day, which is no small feat. She was also an amazing cook and prepared Sunday dinner for at least twenty five years running. Her family recalls how delicious her meals were, almost always with a main course of chicken. These were meals you didn’t want to miss and the memories of those Sunday dinners will keep Anna’s spirit alive for many years to come.
Anna is survived by her five children; Mark W. Hennig and his wife Debra of Wayne, Daria M. Hoffman and her husband Gilbert of Maywood, Kurt F. Hennig of Spring Valley, NY, David J. Hennig and his wife Michele of Butler, and Diana Biesiada and her husband Keith of Cedar Grove; cherished grandmother of seven grandchildren; Erica Zisa and her husband Timothy of Jupiter, FL, Melanie Hennig and her fiancé Howard Remmich of Kinnelon, NJ, Kyle J. Hennig and his wife Tracy of Hamburg, NJ, Miles Hoffman of Morristown, NJ, David Hennig and his wife Michele of Butler, NJ, Emily Hennig of Butler, NJ and Olivia Hennig of Butler, NJ, and three great-grandchildren; Aidan, Matthew, and Jameson. She was predeceased by her husband Frederick in July of 2014.
