Anne P. O’Leary age 80 of Wayne passed peacefully on Saturday, January 11, 2014.
She was born and raised in Bronx, New York having lived in Hollis, Queens, New York and Hackensack, New Jersey before moving to Wayne fifteen years ago.
Out of high school Anne found work as a switchboard operator, inserting phone plugs into the appropriate jacks to connect phone calls, for the AT&T Corporation in Bronx, New York. After a few years she married and dedicated herself to raising her family. After her youngest daughter began going to school she found work as a deli clerk at the Packard’s Grocery Store in Hackensack where she worked for many years. After Packard’s closed she found work at the Shop Rite of Rochelle Park where she worked for several years before retiring in 1995.
She met Patrick J. O’Leary at an Irish Police Dance on 86th Street in New York City. They married on June 25, 1960, honeymooned in Seaside Park at the Jersey Shore, and enjoyed forty-eight years of a loving and caring marriage before his passing in 2008.
Anne will be remembered as a quiet, reserved person who had a great sense of humor and was always joking around. As a matter of fact she would always say “I’m only kiddin’ ya.” She was a creature of habit who read the newspaper cover to cover faithfully. She enjoyed crossword puzzles, watching westerns and the Hallmark Channel on television.
She was very dedicated to her Catholic faith and was a parishioner of Our Lady of the Valley RC Church in Wayne. For many years she was homebound and would watch Mass on television all the time.
Anne was the devoted wife of the late Patrick J. O’Leary (2008); loving mother of Jean Brunelle and her husband Michael of Charlton, Mass., Kevin O’Leary and his wife Rima of Wayne, Maureen Russo and her husband Pat of Rochelle Park, and the late Mary Eileen; cherished grandmother of Melissa Robles and her husband Rob, Gregory and Dan Brunelle, and Kasey O’Leary; loved sister of John Ellicott of Bloomingdale, and the late Margaret Woehrle and late Clare Jones; beloved aunt to many nieces & nephews.
