Anne M. Ridgway (nee Sanclementi) of Wayne passed away quietly and peacefully on Monday, March 9, 2009 at the age of 70. Her beloved family remained constantly at her bedside caring for her until her passing.
Anne was born in Pompton Lakes and lived her formative years in Pequannock, later returning to Pompton Lakes before then moving to Wayne forty-seven years ago. She spent much of her time during her earlier years helping her father who owned Sanclementi’s Meat Market in Pompton Lakes.
Anne received her formal education at Butler High School graduating with the Class of 1955 then moved on to a job at the telephone company. Mrs. Ridgway then worked for over twenty seven years for the Wayne Board of Education in various capacities including Cafeteria Manager and School Bus Driver. During this time she worked at the Packanack, Pines Lake, Terhune, and John F. Kennedy Elementary schools; and Wayne Valley and Wayne Hills High School locations.
Anne leaves her family with many fond memories of a very dedicated and loving wife, mother and grandmother. She was very devoted to her family and the highlight of her days was spending time with them on family vacations and holidays of which she documented with her many photographs. Anne was also a friendly soul and would reach out to many with her kindness. A great many people have been gently touched by her during her journey through life.
Anne met her future husband, Robert Ridgway, at the famous Wayne Milk Barn, which was located on Hamburg Turnpike, and they soon became a couple. Before the marriage took place however, Anne’s father Frank, grilled young Robert, asking him what his intentions were toward his daughter. For the record, of course, Bob responded "honorable". They married shortly thereafter and had forty-nine years as a happy couple together.
Both Anne and Bob were friendly and sociable and hosted many a memorable get together with friends, family and acquaintances at their comfortable home throughout the years.
Surviving are Anne's loving husband Bob; a daughter, Marie Stallard and her husband Sam of Wayne; two sons Robert F. Ridgway and his wife Sondra of Navarre, Florida and James J. Ridgway and his wife Lynne of Milltown, NJ; two brothers, Charlie Sanclementi and his wife Rosie of Wayne and Frank Sanclementi Jr. and his wife, Janet of Haskell; seven grandchildren, Anna Marie and Daniella Coffaro; Nicholas, Richard, Matthew and Gina Ridgway; and Robert James Ridgway. Anne also leaves behind her sister-in-law, Ruth Sanclementi and many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her beloved mother, Mary and father, Frank; two brothers and their wives, Dominic and Vera and Angelo and Sylvia Sanclementi; and also her brother John.
