Denis Healy, age 90, of Wanaque passed Sunday, February 5, 2023 with the comfort of his family by his side.
Denis was born in Kilgarvan, County Kerry, Ireland to Mary and Daniel Healy. His life there was filled with adventure, fun and love for his family. In 1961, he began a new chapter of his life when he immigrated to the United States. Denis’ first job in the US was with the World’s Fair in Queens, New York. Shortly after, Denis began a career with the Manhattan and Bronx Surface Transit Operating Authority (MABSTOA) as a bus driver and then later a mechanic. He worked for MABSTOA for 25 years.
Denis spent his first 10 years in the United States living in Queens, New York. It was during this time that he met the love of his life, Betty. Denis and Betty married in 1965 started their family, and moved to Wayne, New Jersey in 1971. After retiring from MABSTOA, Denis continued to work as a school custodian for the Wayne Board of Education.
Denis was a hard worker who could fix anything given the right amount of duct tape. His kindness and dedication to his family was unmatched. He was always first to offer his assistance, guidance or advice to anyone in need. He loved making people laugh and was always the life of the party. Most of all, he simply loved his family.
Denis was predeceased by his wife Betty and 3 brothers Jackie, Mick and Dan. He is survived by his devoted children Liz Myers and her husband, Bill, Dennis Healy and his wife Paula, Marianne McGuire and her husband Pete, and Julianne Healy, his treasured grandchildren Meaghan, Brendan, Sean, Shane, Shannon and Jack, his loving sisters Cathy O’Regan and Hannah Healy and many adored nieces and nephews.
