Christina Ciarfella (nee Stalker) age 80 of Wayne died Friday, September 4, 2009 at St. Josephs Wayne Hospital, Wayne with her son Robert by her side.
She was born in Paterson, raised in Clifton where she graduated from Clifton High School with the Class of 1946, having lived in Paterson before moving to Wayne forty-six years ago.
Mrs. Ciarfella was the owner of Robbie’s Music City, having first worked in Paterson and Wayne, NJ before working at the Mahwah store location.
She loved to ski, golf, camp, snowmobile and play the piano. Her family was everything to her. She was one of the most selfless people you could ever meet, putting her family’s needs way ahead of her own. She had a strong work ethic and relished in the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren.
When Christina was sixteen years old she was working in Robbie’s Music City, Paterson when she met the love of her life Edmund Ciarfella. They married on August 30, 1946 and honeymooned in the Pocono’s. They have a photo of Christina rowing Ed around in a boat. She would often relate that she should have known at that point that Ed would work her as hard as he could. They enjoyed a loving and caring marriage for fifty-nine years before Ed’s passing in December of 2006.
She was the beloved wife of the late Edmund Ciarfella(2006); loving mother of Edmund Ciarfella and his wife Teresa of Warwick, NY and Robert Ciarfella and his wife Lorraine of Kinnelon; cherished grandmother of Edmund, Danielle and Alexia Ciarfella; loved sister of David Stalker of Clifton and Elizabeth Tunno and her husband Louis of Boca Raton, FL; devoted aunt of several nieces and nephews.
