Clara Huntington age 91 of Wayne died Friday, November 16, 2007, peacefully, at The Gardens at Wayne, Wayne.
She was born and raised in Paterson before moving to Wayne fifty-one years ago.
Clara was a cafeteria worker for the Wayne Board of Education, Wayne for twenty-three years before retiring in 1985.
She was a parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation RC Church, Wayne.
The oldest of seven daughters, she was a caring and nurturing sister. Her grandfather was the owner of a circus that was based in Northern NJ and traveled as far as Florida. With her father being a clown in the same circus inspired Clara to love and collect clowns.
Clara was also a loving and dedicated mother of six. She had a remarkably sharp mind and could remember the minutest details including her children and grandchildren’s dates and times of birth as well as their birth weight. She was also terrific at giving directions to all kinds of places…although she never held a driver’s license.
Beloved wife of forty-eight years to the late Herbert Huntington(1979); loving mother of the late Herbert C. Huntington (2005), Claire Salviano and her (Late husband Virgil), Ronald Huntington and his wife Ruth Ann of Hackettstown, Lorraine Parlegreco and her husband Thomas of Dingmans Ferry, PA, Kenneth Huntington and his wife Elaine of Montclair and Clifford Huntington and his wife Jean of Wayne; cherished grandmother of sixteen, thirty great-grandchildren, two great-great-grandchildren, loving sister of Rose Mayer of Fair Lawn and Grace Roegler and her husband Darrell of Florida, the late Jean Ingino, Ruth Ingino, Myrtle Carroll and Dolores Eler.
