Elaine M. Martino, age 61 of Wayne, died on Tuesday, December 23, 2008 at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
Elaine was born in Newark and graduated from the East Orange Catholic H.S. with the class of 1965. She later received her bachelor’s degree from William Paterson University.
She was a resident of Packanack Lake in Wayne where she has lived with her family since 1972. She was a member of the Master Gardeners of Passaic County and she volunteered in the gardens at Skylands. Elaine’s love of animals and gardening made life in Packanack particularly special for her. She had a daily routine which included feeding the many birds and animals living in her neighborhood; she simply loved caring for them. Elaine was also the “Social Coordinator” amongst her friends and family. She would be the one to organize the parties, holidays, special events, and simple get-togethers. Her kindness and hospitality will surely be missed by all, including the neighborhood animals.
Elaine’s daughters will cherish their memories of a dedicated mother who made contest-winning Halloween costumes, was a class-mom at Packanack School, and a great Brownie Troop Leader.
Surviving are her beloved husband of over forty years; Anthony of Wayne, two daughters; Liza Martino and Lori Martino, both of Wayne, her mother; Helen McHugh of Parsippany, and one sister; Joanne Michalek and her husband William of Parsippany.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Elaine’s name are asked to consider the Friends of Wayne Animal Shelter, PO Box 3701, Wayne, NJ 07470.
