Anna Uhrin “Annie” (nee Keselowsky) age 82, of West Caldwell, died on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at the Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne. Her passing took place peacefully after receiving the love of her family who were at her bedside.
She was born in Forest City, Pennsylvania and grew up on her parents dairy farm in Elkdale, Pennsylvania. She received her formal education at Harford High School in Harford, Pennsylvania graduating with the Class of 1946.
Shortly after graduation she and her cousins (both of whom were also named Anne) moved from the farms in Pennsylvania to seek work in New Jersey and ended up in Garfield. There they found work that was not available in Pennsylvania; they worked hard and helped their families back in Pennsylvania. They also played hard enjoying jaunts to Atlantic City and New York.
One of her first jobs was with Revlon Cosmetics in Rutherford, where she and her cousins enjoyed all of the new cosmetics being introduced. Later they all worked at Becton Dickinson. After marrying and starting her family she worked at Deluxe Check Printers in Clifton, and retired from Lawson Products in 1985.
Annie was gifted with a reserved personality, but she always enjoyed having lots of people around her. She was known for always having an extra seat and plate at the table, and if you were a frequent visitor, she always prepared your favorite meal, and sent you home with a goodie package.
Her finest life dedication was being a loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was a great cook with her favorite recipe as Chicken Soup, Fried Chicken and Homemade Perogi to name a few. Holidays and family celebrations were very important to her as well as family gatherings.
Her grandchildren were especially important to her. She took great pride in speaking of them and their accomplishments to all. Her love for them and theirs for her could be seen in the laughter they brought to each other. Their favorite pastimes were playing cards and bingo with her or just joking around. Her Son-in –Laws were also an important part of her life for over 30 years; sometimes she treated them
better than her daughters.
Ann was devoted to her Orthodox Faith and made sure she instilled those wonderful Christian values in her children as they traveled life’s highway.
As a young girl she met a fellow by the name of Michael Uhrin, who after serving in Navy and later the Army in Korea came back to look her up. In January 26, 1952 they married and “loved each other very much” for forty-two years until Michael’s passing in January of 1994. They started a family in Passaic, NJ, having 4 daughters Joann, Gail, Diane and Susan. They moved from Passaic to Lincoln Park in 1961, where she resided until the late 1990’s, after the passing of her husband Michael in January of 1994. It was funny that after having 4 daughters and a female dog, they ended up with 4 grandsons and a granddaughter.
Surviving to cherish wonderful memories of this very special person are three daughters Joann McKaba and her husband Bob of Long Valley, Diane Mandzik and her husband Michael and Susan Bernier and her husband Al both of West Caldwell; five grandchildren Michael, III and Jessica Mandzik, Jason and Al Bernier, III and Nicholas McKaba; two brothers Sam Keselowsky and his wife Johanna of Elkdale, Pennsylvania and John Keselowsky of Forest City, Pennsylvania.
Arrangements are under the direction of the Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road, Wayne.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Anna’s memory are asked to consider to Holy Resurrection Church, 285 French Hill Rd., Wayne, NJ 07470.
