Anne B. Goralski, age 78 of Wayne, died at home on Thursday, December 18, 2008.
Anne was born in Passaic and graduated from Pope Pius High School with the class of 1948. She later lived in Garfield before moving to Wayne with her husband “Ziggy” in 1959. She had worked many years for the Dime Savings Bank of Wayne where she was in mortgage collections.
If you knew Anne, you are likely to have laughed often and eaten well. She had a wonderful sense of humor and laughing was part of who she was. Cooking was truly her calling. Anne would cook at any chance she had and read cookbooks like novels; cover to cover. Her senses of smell and taste were so keen, they were all she needed to adjust any recipe to perfection. Everything she cooked was from scratch – even her noodles; nothing was pre-packaged or frozen. Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas were some of her favorite times to cook and everyone went home with leftovers. She sent the greatest care-packages to her grandchildren in college too, always loaded with the best things to eat.
Anne met her beloved husband, Ziggy, at a Polish social dance in Passaic, which were regular occasions at the time. She had grown up in Passaic and Ziggy, a Polish native, had come to America after being freed from a German labor camp during World War II. They enjoyed fifty six years of “loving and old-fashioned” marriage together, much like that of Lucy & Desi Arnaz in “I Love Lucy”. They also travelled all around Europe, to Poland four or five times, and Canada.
Anne leaves her loving husband of fifty six years, Zygmunt ‘Ziggy’ of Wayne, four children; Joanne Oakum and her husband Daniel of Conyngham, PA, John Goralski and his wife Ruth of Milford, PA, Joe Goralski and his wife Lori of Butler, NJ, and Jim Goralski and his wife Karen of Kinnelon, NJ. She is the dearest Babci to her six grandchildren whom she loved and cherished so much; Danny, Joey, James and Matthew Oakum of Conyngham, PA, Michael Goralski of Boston, MA, and Katie Goralski of Kinnelon, NJ.
