Corinne Cardiello “Corie” age 87 of Pompton Plains, passed away, with family lovingly by her side, on Wednesday, April 27, 2016.
Corie was born and raised in Garfield and was a graduate of Lodi High School, Class of 1946.
While in high school Corie always wanted to go to football games. She decided the best way to attend every game was to join the school band. It was there that she met the young man who would ultimately become the love of her life. His name was Vincent and he too was in the school band. Corie played the drums and Vince played the clarinet. Together they made such beautiful music and they eventually married at Our Lady of Mount Virgin Church on MacArthur Ave. in Garfield.
After the wedding, Corie and Vince began their married life together in Garfield, eventually moving to Saddle Brook where they were blessed with the births of their two children, Vincent and Donna. Corie dedicated herself to the care of her children when they were young. She later worked as a receptionist for Dr. Alvin Krakower of Fair Lawn. In 1999, three years after her husband Vince passed away, she moved to Pompton Plains to be with her daughter Donna.
Corie cherished times spent with her two granddaughters, Michelle and Lauren. When the girls were little, she would pick them up every Friday and take them for lunch. Then they would all go to Saddle Brook Park to feed the ducks. Those two girls were the apples of Corie’s eye.
Corie loved to get together with her girlfriends to play card games like rummy or a form of rummy called telefunkie. In her quieter moods, she would read a good book – especially if it was one written by Danielle Steele.
One of Corie and Vince’s favorite pastimes together was going for rides on their boat and, over the course of many years, they owned a lot of them. Each one they named “Corky” and was distinguished by a number – Corky 1, Corky 2, etc. The boats they owned were as small as a sixteen-foot wooden boat with a 25 horsepower motor and as large as a thirty-two footer with twin inboard engines. The family enjoyed many good times with those boats on Lake Hopatcong. For a brief time, they enjoyed rides up and down the intercostal waterway in South Florida on their 32 footer.
Summers were spent in New Jersey but in the winter, Corie liked to escape to the Cardiello condo in Florida, where she stayed all winter. A typical day started with breakfast at Grampa’s Bakery and Restaurant. This restaurant gained notoriety when famous television host Guy Fieri visited the restaurant to film an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. No doubt, Corie made sure she was there that morning! She loved the beaches, sunshine, warm weather, boat rides, going out for dinner, and cheering on her beloved Miami Dolphins. In fact, one of the highlights of Corie’s life was meeting Dolphin’s quarterback Dan Marino at an airline-themed restaurant called Anthony’s Runway 84 in Fort Lauderdale.
During the years Corie lived in Saddle Brook, she was a faithful parishioner of St. Philip the Apostle R.C. Church. She is reunited with her beloved husband Vincent now. Her family gives thanks for her life, her fun spirit, and for the love and joy she spread to their lives and the lives of her many friends.
Corie was predeceased by her beloved husband Vincent in 1996. She is survived by her dear son Vincent and wife Grace Cardiello of Wayne, her dear daughter Donna Cardiello of Butler, and two cherished granddaughters: Michelle and Lauren.
