Doris Jean Mazzotta (nee Barber), age 78 of Pompton Lakes died peacefully on Tuesday, April 12, 2011.

She was born, raised, and lived in Paterson before moving to Pompton Lakes six years ago.

She graduated from Eastside High School, Paterson, N.J.

Doris was a customer service associate for  Forman Mills, Totowa for 6 years, previous to that she worked for Value City, Bob's, Plymouth and Alexander's Department Store.

She was a very giving person and would donate much of her time and help fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis.

Doris is best described as a giving, caring and selfless person who had a great sense of humor. She even earned the nickname “Silly Gma”. She was also an avid shopper and would make every Christmas special with the avalanche of gifts for her children and grandchildren. Her kids also remember her love for holidays. She was very proud of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren and found great joy in all of their accomplishments.  She was happiest when she was surrounded by her family.

She met the love of her life, Gabriel Mazzotta, in high school.  They enjoyed 32 years of marriage until Gabriel’s passing in 1986.

Doris was the loving wife of the late Gabriel Mazzotta(1986); loving mother of Thomas Mazzotta of Pompton Lakes, Michael Mazzotta of Apex, NC, Laurie LaVorgna of Pompton Lakes, and Patricia Mechan and her husband Robert of Maywood; cherished grandmother of Thomas John (TJ) and his wife Audrey, Ashley Lynn, Michael, Mallory, Matthew, Stephen, Andrew and Jonathan and great-grandmother of Maverick, Micah and Peyton Summer.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the family would be appreciated.
