Elaine J. Trama (nee Clark), age 60 of Clifton, died after a ten month battle with breast cancer. She lost her mother to breast cancer thirty eight years ago.
Elaine had worked in banking, starting out many years ago with First Fidelity, then at First Union, and most recently with Financial Services Inc. in Glen Rock, NJ.
Elaine grew up in Pequannock and graduated from Pequannock High School with the class of 1976. She played flute in the marching band. It was around this time that Elaine met Joel Trama at a club in Clifton. The two of them hit it off and wedding bells followed on September 7, 1980. They were married at St. Timothy’s Lutheran Church in Wayne, followed by a honeymoon to Atlantic City. They have enjoyed thirty eight years of marriage together.
Elaine was an avid reader and particularly liked Steven King and Mary Higgins Clark novels. She had vacationed with her family a few times in Wildwood, and loved spending time with her boys. She was a great mom who could be stubborn at times, but she was always there for them. Elaine also loved her dogs and she had many over the years. Her favorite was a miniature collie named “Lucy” who she lost just a few years ago, and she’s missed Lucy very much ever since.
Elaine is survived by her loving husband Joel of Clifton, two sons; Marc and Jared of Clifton, her sister; Corrine Vara and her husband Anthony of New Hampton, NY, two nieces; Jocelyn and Julie Vara and a nephew; Anthony Bryan. She was predeceased by her mother; Janet Clark in 1980, and by her father; Ralph Clark in 2017.
