Beatryce A. Raimondi, age 94, of Whiting and New Port Richey, Florida, formerly a thirty-five year resident of Wayne, passed Monday, June 4, 2018.
Beatryce was born and raised in Jersey City having graduated from Snyder High School, where she was a Drum Majorette with the Class of 1942. After high school, she worked for the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in New York City. Beatryce spent many summers as a kid in Lawrence Harbor their family summer home. My mom was very social and loved to dance big band style.
She met a cute man named Joseph Massa at a YMCA dance in Jersey City and they soon fell in love. After meeting her for lunch one day Joseph proposed marriage as they rode the elevator back up to her job. Beatryce’s father wanted her to have a large wedding but Joseph and Beatryce secretly got married in New York City. Beatryce and Joseph enjoyed a loving and devoted marriage. Their marriage was blessed with two children, Herbert and Joan, and they enjoyed being together for twenty-nine years before Joseph’s untimely passing in 1976. Beatryce worked for fifteen years as a secretary for the Wayne Board of Education, and before retiring in 1981, she served several years as Secretary to the Principal at the George Washington Junior High School.
Four years after Joseph’s passing Beatryce met Albert J. Raimondi and was fortunate enough to find love a second time. Albert and Beatryce married on January 2, 1982 and on January 3rd they moved to New Port Richey Florida. Beatryce and Albert retired together and enjoyed traveling and cruising all over the world until his passing in 2006. Beatryce enjoyed great health through her years, loved sewing, was maintaining her home and pool in Florida. She will be lovingly remembered for her energetic and feisty nature which is evidenced by the fact that in her 80’s she was riding a JetSki and went for a ride on her son-in-laws motorcycle. In 2017 she moved from Florida to The Pines at Whiting to be closer to her children and grandchildren. Although she was ninety-one years old she was fiercely independent, in charge of selling her home in Florida, and organizing her move to New Jersey. She made new friends in Whiting and was liked by many for her smile and enthusiasm.
Beatryce was the loving wife of the late Joseph Massa (1976) and the late Albert J. Raimondi (2006); devoted mother of Herbert Massa and his wife Donna of Howell and Joan Mancuso and her husband Joe of Manahawkin; cherished grandmother of Joseph Mancuso, Michael Mancuso, and Julie Ann Massa; loved sister of the late Edyth Nicholson and the late Herbert Coombe and loved aunt to Arthur Nicholson and Ardith Welsh.
