Eileen Mary Sockler (nee McNish) age 77 of Pompton Lakes, died Sunday, April 12, 2009 with the love and comfort of her family by her side.
She was born in Newark, and raised in East Orange before moving to Pompton Lakes fifty-one years ago.
Eileen tragically lost her husband in 1974. She sought part-time local employment and found work at the Pompton Lakes Luggage and Shoe Repair shop, where she worked for five years. She later took a full-time position with the Borough of Pompton Lakes as the Court Administrator. For many years she was awakened in the middle of the night, as she was the person in charge of the paperwork for admitting anyone into the Borough’s jail. Having worked for the Borough of Pompton Lakes for eighteen years as the Court Administrator, she retired in 1997. She raised her three daughters, managed a household, and her career, all without ever driving a car!
Upon her retirement, she took on another exciting and often exhausting role caring for her grandchildren while her youngest daughter re-entered the work world.
Eileen was the beloved wife of the late Arthur P. Sockler(1974); devoted mother of Susan Hasenbalg and her husband Wayne of Randolph, Nancy Sarnelli and her husband Nick of Pequannock, and Cynthia Zeglen and her husband Craig of Oak Ridge; cherished grandmother of Nicholas, Michele and Daniel Sarnelli, Kyle and Craig Zeglen; beloved sister of the late John McNish, Marion Beckwith, Lenore Rutz, Gloria High, Evelyn Hatchman and Bill McNish; and blessed with thirty loving nieces and nephews.
