Anne Liddell

Anne Liddell, age 88, of Lee, Massachusetts, formerly of Siena Village in Wayne, passed Sunday, December 8, 2019.

She was born to Thomas and Elizabeth Redden and raised at 14 Beacon Avenue in Jersey City.  She graduated from the Saint Aloysius Academy High School in Jersey City with the Class of 1949. She lived in Jersey City, Clifton for about twenty years, and the Siena Village in Wayne, before moving to The Landing at Laurel Lake Assisted Living in Lee, Massachusetts.

Just out of high school Anne worked locally for several companies in a secretarial capacity.  Before formally retiring in 1996 she worked as Administrative Assistant for the AAA Corporation in Wayne for about ten years.

Anne will be lovingly remembered for her Irish humor, sarcastic wit, her strong, fun loving personality that always brought out energy and joy to those around her.  She was a fantastic and remarkable woman who was truly one of a kind. Her strong dedication to family is evidenced by her raising her four daughters from the ages 5, 4, 3, and 2 as a single mom.  With the help of her mother and brothers she dedicated herself to being the best possible mother she could be. For many years she sprinkled her fun on every holiday, birthday, and family occasion making them special.  Going to New York City’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, watching the inflating of the parade balloons, trips to Broadway, and the pontoon boat she purchased and kept at the Jersey Shore are a small sample of the foundation of lifelong fun and memories she gave her children.

Anne was dedicated to her Catholic faith and a parishioner of Our Lady of the Valley Church in Wayne for many years. In her leisure time she enjoyed reading mysteries and all kinds of other books. As the years progressed and her eyesight began to fail she found great comfort in reading books on tape.

Anne was the dedicated and loving mother of Janet Randall of and her husband Don of Wayne, NJ, Anne Rekeda and her husband Wayne of Pittsfield, MA, and Ellen Clark and her husband Kevin of Oxford, NJ, Jill Maynes and her husband Christopher Luking of Mount Airy, MD; loved sister of the late Robert Redden and the late Thomas Redden; cherished grandmother of twelve grandchildren and much loved great-grandmother of fourteen great-grandchildren.
