Anna Wood (nee Howarth), age 94, and a lifelong Haledon resident, died peacefully at home on Friday, Nov. 8, 2019.
Anna lived her entire life in the home that her grandfather originally built in the 1899. There she and Victor, her husband of 46 years, raised their family and also cared for her parents until their passing.
She worked for the United States Postal Service in Paterson, where she received many commendations before retiring in 1990.
Anna was known as a loving, patient, and generous woman who genuinely cared about the well-being of others and was loved by everyone. She was also an expert at solving challenging crossword puzzles and cryptograms.
Anna was a very enthusiastic shopper and a skilled gardener. She was especially proud of the rose bushes she planted and cultivated around the yard.
Anna is survived by her daughter, Denise Wood, of Knoxville, Tennessee. She was predeceased by her husband Victor in 1991, and by her son Randall in 1979.
