Dorothy Canale (nee Weber) age 93 of Wayne passed away peacefully on Sunday February 25, 2018 while receiving the loving care of her family.
Dorothy was born and raised in Union City, NJ. She grew up, as did many people in her generation, during the deprivation of the Great Depression and as a young adult lived through a time when the entire world was at war. After finishing her education, Dorothy went to work at an early age. She held various positions at different companies. However, shortly after World War II, she met a handsome young GI back from his service overseas with the US Army named Louis Canale. They dated for a few years and as fate would have it, they fell in love and were married on June 19, 1948.
Louis and Dorothy lived in Union City for a couple of years immediately after they were married, eventually moving to Wayne in 1953. They would call Wayne their home for the rest of their lives together and would raise their two children there as well. Following her marriage to Louis, Dorothy decided she would devote herself to her family and become a full time homemaker. Dorothy and Louis cherished over fifty years of loving and loyal marriage until Louis’s passing in 1999.
Dorothy lived in Wayne for many years and was not only dedicated to her family, but also her neighborhood. She lived on a street where everyone knew each other. She enjoyed cooking and especially baking. Dorothy was famous for her Christmas cookies and always made enough for everyone in her family, and in her neighborhood. She touched the lives of many people and will be sincerely missed.
Dorothy is survived by her daughter Nancy Benvenuto and her husband Peter of Oakland, her son Gary and his wife Kathy of West Caldwell, five grandchildren; Nicole, Tracy, Madison, Claudia, and Julia, two great grandchildren; Gianna, and Steven. She was predeceased by her husband Louis in 1999.
