Ann Rose Paylo (nee Gondola) age 96 of Wayne passed away peacefully on Tuesday March 7, 2017.
Ann grew up the daughter of a poor immigrant family seeking a better life in the United States. Ann was born and raised in Paterson and moved to Wayne in the mid 1960’s. Her parents taught her as she grew up, the importance of strong family values and a hard day’s work. Although Ann did not get far in school, she worked harder than many adults around her when she was just twelve years old. At that young age she went to work cleaning houses and working as a nanny for families that lived in her area.
Ann’s parents were good friends with the parents of another young man named John Paylo. John was called to serve his country during World War II. While john was serving his country in the United States Navy, Ann’s mom and dad urged on of their five daughters to write to John during the war to keep him in positive spirits. One of Ann’s sisters did just that, however when it was time for John to return home, Ann and her four sisters were unsure who would meet him and welcome him home. It turned out that Ann and John met, they fell in love and on January 25, 1941 they were married in St Boniface RC Church in Paterson. Very shortly after they were married Ann and John started their family. Ann took on the daunting and rewarding position of a full time homemaker. She devoted her entire life to her husband and her boys. There was never a night when dinner was not on the table, or a day when the house wasn’t cleaned. For several years of her life, Ann worked in the garment industry, eventually retiring in the early 1950’s to dedicate to her family. Ann was extremely dedicated to her faith and was a parishioner of St Boniface RC Church in Paterson and Our lady of the Valley RC Church for many years after moving to Wayne.
She was a long-time member of the Women’s Club of Allwood in Clifton where she created life-long friendships with many of the ladies there. She also developed a close and special relationship with her sister in-law Sue with whom she and her family would visit with in Pennsylvania quite frequently. Another special person in Ann’s life was her best friend Aggie Shaw who was from the New Jersey area originally then moved to Lake George. Ann always kept in touch with her and vacationed with her family to visit her frequently as well.
Ann didn’t have many interests or hobbies, her greatest passion and what meant most in her life was her family. John and Ann cherished 66 years of loving and loyal marriage together until John’s passing in 2007. She was a loving wife, a dedicated mother and devoted grandmother and great grandmother. Ann was an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many people and will be missed by all who knew her.
Ann is survived by her son Dennis and his wife Patricia of Wayne, six grandchildren; Lori, Dennis, John, Katharine, Vena, and Arion, and four great grandchildren; Amanda, John, Emily, and Victoria, two brothers; John and Joseph Gondola, she was predeceased by her husband John Paylo in 2007 and her son Kenneth Paylo in 2012. She was also predeceased by her four sisters; Elizabeth, Mary, Helen, and Bessie.
