Edith Esandrio (nee DeGruttola) age 98 of Lakewood and formerly of Wayne, died peacefully on Wednesday, April 24, 2013.
She was born in Newark and had lived in Bloomfield before moving to Wayne, where she resided for sixty-one years, before moving to Lakewood in 2007.
Mrs. Esandrio owned the Packanack Beauty Salon until 1969 and continued to work until her retirement in 2006. She started her career as a beautician at the age of seventeen and worked for seventy-five years in her trade. She found the perfect job for her life because she loved being with people.
Edith was a member of the Wayne Golden Age Circle where she served as Vice-President.
She had a heart of gold and she always wanted to do thoughtful acts in the service of others. She would spend much time crocheting and making baby hats and lap robes for local hospitals and nursing homes.
She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother. Edith and her late husband Joseph were married for thirty-two years in a loving and dedicated marriage until his passing in 1969.
Surviving is Edith’s dear son Donald Esandrio and his wife Marilyn of Lakewood; her cherished granddaughter Meryl Esandrio of Bloomfield; and her one niece and two nephews. She was also predeceased by her five siblings: Salvatore DeGruttola, Frances Testa, Wilson DeGruttola, Philip DeGruttola and Joseph DeGruttola.
In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Edith’s name are asked to consider the Wayne Township Memorial First Aid Squad, PO Box 2004, Wayne, NJ 07474.
