Dolores will be laid to rest privately, with her husband Adolph, at the Laurel Grove Memorial Park Cemetery, Totowa, NJ.
Dolores Zeglen, 89 of Wayne, died peacefully on Saturday, April 14, 2018. She had lived in Wayne since 1954.
Dolores’ earliest years were defined by the Great Depression and her childhood was challenging, to say the least. But despite all the adversity, she persevered through school and got a job as a secretary. It was here that she met a handsome electrician who was doing some work in the office. Adolph Zeglen was his name, and it was love at first sight for both of them. They were married on August 3, 1946 and they enjoyed a very loving and happy marriage. They were a conservative and private couple, devoted to one another, and truly best of friends. Adolph built their Wayne home in 1954 and they raised their family and have lived there for more than fifty years. She loved gardening and decorating her home. She was a skilled decorator and could easily have been a professional interior designer. When Adolph became ill, she cared for him around the clock until his passing in 2007. Her heart was broken when she lost her beloved Adolph after more than sixty years of marriage.
Throughout those years, Dolores traveled extensively and she could truly be considered a “World Traveler.” There isn’t a corner of the globe she hasn’t set foot on. There were countless adventures which included three months touring on the Orient Express, a three week expedition into the Australian Outback sleeping in tents, she’s carved her name into an iceberg in Iceland, and was baptized in Jerusalem. She had done the ‘typical’ European tours, and enjoyed Mediterranean cruises as well. Of course, like many people in New Jersey, she also loved the beach. Family vacations to Wildwood and Cape May were a big part of her annual summer relaxation. Her family has a large collection of souvenirs and pictures to cherish from her many escapades and they will all miss her dearly.
Dolores is survived by her two children; Craig Zeglen and his wife Cyndi of Oak Ridge, NJ, Denise Kearney and her husband Bill of Cape Coral, Florida, five grandchildren; Kyle and Craig Zeglen, Keira Lombardo, Adam Ullrich, and Jared Ullrich, and two great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Adolph in 2007.
