Barbara Ann Trumbour (nee Spizzirri), age 75 of Wayne, died peacefully on Saturday, February 7, 2015. She had been a resident of Paterson and Totowa for most of her life before moving to Wayne in 2004. She worked for the Felsway Corp. in Totowa as an inventory control manager for several years before retiring.
Having grown up in Paterson, she graduated from St. Joseph’s High School with the class of 1956. It was at St. Joseph’s that she met her high school sweetheart John 'Les' Trumbour. The two of them had known each other throughout their school age years and their pictures appear next to each other in their high school yearbook. They were anxious to get married and both very young. They married in 1958 and enjoyed a honeymoon to the island of Haiti. They settled in Echo Glen section of Totowa where they lived for many years. Barbara and Les were together forty eight years, in a loving relationship like the best of friends, not much different than Ralph and Alice Kramden. They visited Atlantic City and the Pocono’s with some regularity, so Barbara could get her hands on a slot machine from time to time. She also enjoyed swimming, fishing and boating, especially at Green Pond, where they spent several summers. Together they spent many winters as ‘snowbirds’ with family and friends going places like Winter Cove park. Then some more at their home in Cape Coral, Florida before John passed in 2000. Thereafter, Barbara moved to the Summerhill community in Wayne where she became known as their social director, hosting parties and the various social events they had there. Barbara also served on the Board of Trustees in the Summerhill apartments.
Barbara is survived by her two daughters; Geri Igler and her husband Gary of Haledon, Christine Trumbour of Woodland Park, one son; Thomas Trumbour and his wife Carolyn of Wayne, three grandchildren; Katie Trumbour, Kirsten and Teresa Igler, one sister; Gerry Stetz of Oak Ridge, NJ, and one brother; Tony Spizzirri and his wife Barbara of North Carolina. Barbara is also survived by several nieces and a nephew. She was predeceased by her husband John in 2000 and by her son John in 2002.
