Edith T. Giangiobbe (nee Cavalleri), age 90 of Wayne, died peacefully on Sunday, January 24, 2016. She was a resident of Wayne since 1961.

Edith was born in Brooklyn, NY to Joseph and Nancy Cavalleri of Milan, Italy. Her father, Joseph, was a talented woodworker making fine Italian furniture in New York City. After high school, Edith was trained as a clothing designer and later designed women’s bathing suits and negligees for a company in New York City. She met Michael Giangiobbe in 1945 and they enjoyed their first date walking the Brooklyn waterfront along Shore Parkway, overlooking the Verrazano Narrows. They married on June 8, 1947 at St. Frances De Chantal RC Church in Brooklyn and honeymooned at Lake George. They lived in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn for fourteen years before moving to Wayne in 1961.

Edith is survived by her son John and his wife Mary of Haskell, NJ, and one sister; Ines DeVito of Lakewood, NJ. She was predeceased by her husband Michael in 2013.
