Barbara Ann Hummel, died at age 67 on Wednesday, September 16, 2009, after a courageous battle with cancer. Her passing was quiet and peaceful with all of her family at her bedside.
Barbara, or “Bobbie” as most called her, was born in Paterson and moved to Wayne in 1953. She attended the Wayne schools and graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the class of 1960. It was there, at Wayne Valley, that she met her sweetheart; Charles Hummel. They married in 1964 and enjoyed forty five years of loving, devoted, and active marriage. They did everything together, including raising their four children.
Bobbie found happiness in so many things during her life; like time spent at the beach with sand between her toes – her favorite beaches being in Hawaii and Bermuda. Or reading a good cooking magazine searching for a new recipe. She loved cooking for her family, usually big meals at the holiday’s, or her perfect biscuits and gravy, and no one will forget her famous nut rolls at Christmas. Undoubtedly though, the greatest joy of all in her life, even greater than a good shopping trip, was her grandchildren. She doted on them to no end and they were each the apple of her eye. She would read to them, attend all their school plays, recitals, Halloween parades, and more. At Easter, she would fill eggs with candy treats and money and hide them all over for the kids to find - and then cook a big meal. She had a motto; “What happens at Grandma’s, stays at Grandma’s”, which explains why all of her grandchildren wanted to move in with her. She would often let them dress her up, put makeup on her and just have fun. She lived for them and they will all miss her dearly.
She is survived by her husband; Charles Hummel of Wayne, two daughters; Pandie Napolitano and her husband Vincent of Wayne, and Michele George and her husband Michael of Rockaway, two sons; Dwayne of Wayne and Glenn and his wife Natasha of Rockaway, two brothers; James Warmus of Dallas, Georgia and Richard Warmus of Ithica, Michigan, and four grandchildren; Nicole and Alexa Napolitano of Wayne and Michael and Ashley George of Rockaway. She was predeceased by her parents; Thomas Warmus in 1997 and Helen Warmus in 2004.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Friends of Wayne Animal Shelter or St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital would be appreciated.
