Carmela Cerasuolo (nee Cervone) age 81 of Wayne on Wednesday, January 7, 2009 at the Hackensack Hospital in Hackensack. Her passing took place after her dedicated and loving family gave her all of their love and attention. Her passing, although a shock to her family, was quiet and peaceful.
She was born in Manhattan, New York at the family residence. It was the custom of that day to deliver babies at home instead of at a hospital. She later lived in Bronx, New York before moving, out to the country, to Wayne thirty-two years ago.
Carmela received her formal education at Christopher Columbus High School in Bronx, New York graduating with the Class of 1944.
Mrs. Cerasuolo was an Executive Secretary for thirty years for the Vice President of Hedwin Corporation in New York City manufacturers of plastics. She retired from work in 1989.
Carmela was a very devoted family person who made family life a delight. She adored her family and would very much enjoy gathering family around her on all occasions. She was a wonderful cook as testified to by her son-in-law Joseph. He said she made the best vegetable lasagna and eggplant in the whole world.
Her daughters recall that Mom was very special. A truly devoted mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She nurtured her family with great devotion and concern that only a wonderful mother could provide. Mom often spoke with thankfulness to God for her family.
Salvatore and Carmela grew up in the same neighborhood in Manhattan and her family knew his family and introduced them. Well you know, it went something like this – “Salvatore you just got to meet this beautiful girl Carmela”. It wasn’t long after that they fell in love and married. They enjoyed sixty years of “devoted and loving” marriage together. As a couple they were like “two peas in a pod”.
Surviving are her loving husband Salvatore; two daughters Phyllis Antonelli and her husband Joseph of Pleasant Valley, New York and Sally Cuccurullo of Saddle Brook; three grandchildren Eric Cuccurullo and his wife Maria of South Amboy, Jennifer Hickey and her husband William of Westchester, New York and Joseph Antonelli of Pleasant Valley, New York; two great grandchildren Owen and Camille Hickey.
