Eileen Caffrey (nee Jones), age 81 of Paterson, died on Friday, September 9, 2011. Eileen was a lifelong resident of Paterson and also enjoyed vacationing for many years at Marco Island, Florida.

Eileen was a good hearted, kind person, with an ‘old fashioned’ streak in her. She never moved out of the neighborhood where she grew up, and she avoided most modern conveniences as long as she possibly could. She never had more than seven or eight channels on her TV until the recent switch to digital, which she was not fond of at all. She also never had an answering machine and refused to have a modern telephone with speed dial or any of those features – she just needed a plain phone, with a cord going to the wall, and that was it.

Eileen was married to her beloved husband William for more than fifty years before he passed away in 1997. They were inseparable and did everything together. They led a very social lifestyle, attending many parties and often eating out on the town. For the past fourteen years since Bill passed, Eileen has certainly been living with a broken heart, never quite the same. Surely now, the two of them are happily reunited in Heaven once again.

She is survived by her loving brother Harold Jones and his wife Helen of Barnegat, NJ, her sister; Florence Gregory of Clifton, and many nieces and nephews. She was also predeceased by her brothers; Donald, Alfred and William Jones.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the American Cancer Society, 20 Mercer Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601 would be greatly appreciated.
