Barbara Joan Chetirkin (nee Dodson), age 78 of Wayne, died on Tuesday, December 3, 2013.
Barbara was raised in the Totowa section of Paterson and graduated from Central High School with the class of 1953. She moved to Pompton Lakes with her family when she was eighteen.
Barbara met and married her husband, Bob Chetirkin, in 1956. They settled into a small place in Totowa, before purchasing their first home in Pompton Lakes, and later settling in their Wayne home. Barbara was a resident of Wayne since 1966. She and Bob enjoyed nearly fifty-three years of marriage before Bob passed away in 2009. Barbara had a passion for dancing. At any party that she attended, she could always be found on the dance floor.
Barbara was an active member of the Preakness Reformed Church in Wayne. She organized many funeral repasts that were hosted in the church parlor, and often worked in the kitchen during fund raising events. She also taught Sunday school and provided snacks for Vacation Bible School kids in the summer. She loved her church and Preakness Reformed was an integral part of her life.
Barbara raised her three children in Wayne. She was a tough mom who was known to never mince words. Her children always knew where they stood. She loved her children and was always there to support, comfort, and care for them.
Her six grandchildren were special and brought her great joy. She made time for each of them, whether it was sitting for them while their parents were out or watching their sporting, dance, school performances, and many extracurricular activities. She loved each grandchild and they will all miss her dearly.
Barbara is survived by her three children: Nancy Olsson and her husband Robert of Princeton Junction, Barbara Devine and her husband Richard of Totowa, and Robert L. Chetirkin and his wife Marcie of Wayne, six grandchildren; Lindsey and Gregory Olsson of Princeton Junction, Sarah and Emma Devine of Totowa, and Robert H. and Matthew Chetirkin of Wayne.
