Edith M. D’Arienzo (nee Milite) age 87 of Wayne on Saturday, September 26, 2009 at the Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne.
She was born in New York City and had lived in the Bronx throughout her formative years finally moving to Elmwood Park in 1969 before moving to Wayne fifteen years ago.
Edith received her formal education at James Monroe High School in the Bronx graduating with the Class of 1938. She was a long time parishioner of Holy Cross RC Church in the Bronx.
Upon moving to Wayne in 1994 she became a parishioner of Annunciation RC Church in Wayne. She held a special devotion to her Roman Catholic faith.
One of her early jobs was for Woolworth Five and Ten Cent Stores in the Bronx and there she met a handsome fellow worker named Romeo D’Arienzo. It was apparent to Edith that he was in need of nourishment and she set out with her innate cooking skills to beef him up a bit. At least that was her gesture of affection for Romeo. They soon became a couple and ended up at the Holy Cross RC Church altar in the Bronx on September 2, 1945 and exchanged their vows of marriage.
Romeo is remembered as a very compliant husband who would take Edith to the shopping center and with an ice cream cone in hand wait patiently on a bench for her to explore every store before he taxied her home. They had forty five years of loving marriage until Romeo’s passing in March of 1990.
When she moved to Elmwood Park in 1969 she obtained a job as a technician at Biocraft Laboratories a pharmaceutical manufacturer in Elmwood Park. She worked for them for twenty-one years before her retirement in 1986.
Edith was gifted with very loving persona that had a motherly humanity coupled with an intense concern for the hearts and souls of her children and grandchildren.
Her son in law Ralph crowned her with the title “best mother in law in the whole world.”
Her children and grandchildren are left with fond and wonderful memories of the best Mother in the whole world. The same culinary skills that she applied to her future husband she used to feed her children much to their delight. She also was a loving nurturing mother through her autumn days always concerned about her children’s and grandchildren’s well being. She loved the routine of joining her daughter Francine on shopping trips and they were best friends and even more than that, confidents in each other.
Surviving to cherish this wonderful mother and grandmother are one daughter Francine Hamilton and her husband Ralph of Wayne; one son Robert D’Arienzo and his wife Debbie of Wayne; five grandchildren Michael and Jaclyn Hamilton, Nicole, Robert and Julianne D’Arienzo.
She was predeceased by one sister Jean Sullo and four brothers Edward, Joseph, George and Anthony Milite.
Edith will be laid to rest with her late husband Romeo at the George Washington Memorial Park in Paramus.
