Dianne A. Vigorito age 55 of Pompton Plains, formerly of Wayne, after a ten year battle with multiple illnesses passed in her sleep at 12:05 AM on Thursday, February 5, 2015.
Dianne was born and raised on Woodbine Street in the Ridgewood section of Queens, New York. At the age of nine her family moved to Alps Road in Wayne. She lived here through grammar school at Holy Cross Church in Wayne, graduation from DePaul High School in Wayne with the Class of 1977, and until she married in 1981.
Dianne met a young man named Thomas Vigorito at Holy Cross Church School in fourth grade. During grammar school Tommy liked Dianne and she wanted no part of him. It was during high school that Dianne began to like Tommy and he wanted no part of her. During college their feelings came together and during his senior year at the University of Virginia Tommy proposed marriage to Dianne. Actually Tommy and Dianne were speaking about marriage and he said “we have no place to live” and Dianne said “we can live with my mother” to which Tommy replied “I have no money for a ring” and Dianne said “my mother has a ring I can use.” It looks like Tommy ran out of room on the plank and they married on June 27, 1981 at Holy Cross Church in Wayne. They honeymooned in Aruba and had a mutually adoring marriage of thirty-three years.
She will always be remembered as a giving, outgoing, independent person who was there for others, even during her most difficult days. Having family together meant everything to Dianne. Pool parties, family dinners, Christmas, and Thanksgiving were always at her home. Her special touch on sausage stuffing at Thanksgiving will be greatly missed.
Dianne was a parishioner of Our Lady of Good Counsel RC Church in Pequannock. She was a Eucharistic Minister, volunteer, and helped with the church bulletin as long as her health would allow. Dianne also studied Theology at the College of Saint Elizabeth in Morristown. Along with raising her two sons, she volunteered as a case worker at Newbridge Services in Pompton Plains for several years. Dianne and her cousin Mona Rodriguez co-authored a book they worked on for many years called “Forty Years In a Day.”
She was the loving wife of Thomas Vigorito; devoted mother of Justin Vigorito and his wife Becka of Hoboken, and Michael Vigorito of Miami, FL; cherished daughter of Constance Quaratino of Pompton Plains and the late Michael Quaratino(1975); much loved sister of Susan Ricciardi of Pompton Lakes and the late Dean Ricciardi (2005); loved by her inlaws, nieces, nephews, cousins, and countless friends.
