Clara “Lilly” “Mike” E. Sessa (nee Evanowsky) age 94 of Clifton died peacefully on September 14, 2013.
She was born in New York City and raised in Garfield having graduated from Garfield High School with the Class of 1937. After high school she attended the University of Kentucky for a year and then graduated with a Degree in Nursing from the American Medical Technologists of New Jersey.
As a young girl Clara’s family would take weekend trips to a family friend’s farm in Lambertville. On the farm there were always chores to do and being the only girl helping with those chores the boys nicknamed Clara “Mike”. That nickname carried through the years even being the name, Mrs. Mike I through Mrs. Mike V, of the five progressively larger boats her husband John kept in Mantoloking Shores.
Clara was a loving, caring, wife and mother who’s family was always her focus. A lover of animals she had numerous dogs over the years and was especially fond of her late Chihuahua Chloe. An avid golfer she was a member of the Manasquan River Country Club in Brielle, the DelRay Dunes Golf & Country Club in Boynton Beach, FL, and the North Jersey Country Club in Wayne.
Clara was the loving wife of sixty-one years to John T. Sessa(2006); devoted mother of John V. Sessa of Wayne, and Robert T. Sessa and his wife Susan of Wayne; dear sister of the late Jane Banks; cherished grandmother of Jason Sessa and his wife Marilyn of Beechwood; much loved great-grandmother of Giovanni and Perrie Sessa.
