Carmella (nee Geraci) Falzarano age 87 of Wayne passed peacefully at home on Thursday, April 23, 2015.
She was born in Weehawken and lived at 828 Garden Street in Hoboken, which was right down the street from Frank Sinatra. Carmella graduated from Demarest High School with the Class of 1946.
After high school, she worked at the Autographic Register Corporation and the Lipton Tea Corporation both in Hoboken. (take out tea bags)Thereafter, the family moved to 231 Van Buren Street in Lyndhurst in 1958. After the move, Carmella worked at the Tanatex Chemical Corporation in Lyndhurst as a secretary for nineteen years before retiring in 1977.
Carmella met her husband to be through his sister, Anna, on a blind date in the mid 40’s. They married on September 14, 1947, at Saint Anne’s Church in Hoboken. After a honeymoon at Coney Island, New York, they had thirty-five years of a loving, devoted, and caring marriage before John’s passing in 1982.
Two years after John’s passing, Carmella moved to Wayne. She was a parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne, taught Sunday School there, and was a member of the church’s Amity Club.
Carmella will be remembered as an avid reader, being patient, compassionate, loving, loyal, and quite stubborn. She enjoyed cooking swimming at Spa 23, but most of all, she will be remembered for how she adored her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Carmella was the loving wife of the late John Falzarano; devoted daughter of Maria Nigito and her husband Joseph of Wayne; cherished grandmother of Melinda Thiel and her husband Mark of Wayne, Brian Nigito and his wife Stephanie of New York City, and Renee Nigito and her fiancé Alex Carr of Montclair. Finally, she was a devoted great-grandmother of Skylar and Jordan Thiel, and Sean and Ella Nigito.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to Saint Jude Children's Research Hospital, PO Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis TN 38148-0142 would be appreciated.
