Anne G. Kuhn (nee Autera) age 83 of Wayne died peacefully at home on Sunday, February 10, 2008. She was surrounded by her family and dear friends.
She was born in Prospect Park, NJ. She later lived in the Hillcrest section of Paterson before moving to Wayne in 1957.
She enjoyed 53 years of marriage with Neil after meeting him at the bus stop on Union Avenue. She and Neil lived at opposite ends of the block in Paterson and often used the same corner bus stop. They simply started talking to each other one day, and courted for almost four years before marrying in 1949. They were a cute couple, and their children describe their relationship as ‘amusing’ at times. Anne and Neil stood by each other through tough times and good, but Anne was always in charge. Their relationship understandably strengthened when grandchildren entered their lives.
A devoted Catholic, Anne was a pioneer member of Annunciation RC Church in Wayne, having been active since the parish inception. Her faith was very strong and her religious convictions guided her daily life.
She worked as a seamstress at Barbizon and also at the Wayne General Hospital in the Insurance and Admissions departments. Her most rewarding career however, was as a social worker for Project Linc, a department of the Catholic Family & Community Services. She was most happy helping others and this job brought her joy on a daily basis. She was also a member of the Mayors Senior Advisory Board of Wayne under Mayor Scott Rumana. She was a very hands-on woman; organized, well educated, and an excellent planner. She ran their household like a pro.
She was also a well-traveled woman. Besides their memorable family vacations to Wildwood Crest, Washington DC, and California, Anne also visited Italy and Hawaii.
Anne’s daughters will always remember their mom as loving, supportive, and active in their daily lives. Both daughters appreciated their mothers’ good advice and the strong faith in God that she instilled in them. They both consider themselves lucky to have had her as a mom. They credit their mother with creating a very strong sense of family within their home, which is why they are all so close with their cousins, friends, and neighbors. Anne was like a ‘second mom’ to many. It is many of those people who Claudia and Barbara credit with making their childhood so memorable and enjoyable.
We would be remiss if we did not mention Annes’ group of fellow card players. She loved to play cards and get together, usually twice a week, with her friends to play. This was something she always looked forward to and enjoyed immensely.
Anne is survived by her two daughters; Barbara Kuhn and Claudia Chase and her husband Kevin of Vernon, two grandchildren; Brian and Stephanie Chase also of Vernon, one sister; Laura LaRosa of Riverdale, NJ and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband Neil in 2002, three brothers; Michael, Joseph, and Amadeo (Tommy) Autera, two sisters; Mary Tallone and Theresa (Sue) Kurdock.
