Eleanor M. Daly (nee Springwaldt) age 84 of Greenwood Lake, New York, formerly of Wayne for sixty years, passed away peacefully on Monday, March 24, 2014.
She was born in Pompton Lakes and raised in Wayne having graduated from the Pompton Lakes High School with the Class of 1949. Eleanor lived in Wayne and first worked in a clothing store and soon thereafter in the offices of the Sam Braen Quarry in Haledon. When she married in 1952 she dedicated herself to raising her family. After the children were grown she again worked as an office administrator for several years.
After high school Peter Daly enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and soon asked Eleanor for her hand in marriage. Peter was granted a leave from his service in Korea and he and Eleanor married, on January 12, 1952 at Saint Marys RC Church in Pompton Lakes, and drove a green four door Ford to Washington, DC where they honeymooned for a week. When asked about their marriage Eleanor said they had a loving relationship and never fought – they just worked things out together.
Eleanor had an outgoing, welcoming personality and a great sense of humor. She was a dedicated mother who loved to entertain. All the holidays were at mom’s home and when she moved to Greenwood Lake in 1990 the holiday’s at mom’s home tradition continued. When in the Greenwood Lake Community she loved her neighbors and joined the Gaelic Society where she had many dear friends. Her special touch on her signature desert, Irish Trifle, will be greatly missed. She will also be greatly missed by her loving and dedicated Shih Tzu Molly.
Eleanor was the loving wife of, the former Chief of the Wayne Police, the late Peter T. Daly (January 2014); loving mother of Colleen Daly of Greenwood Lake, NY; loved sister of the late Otto Springwaldt; cherished aunt of Kathleen Gibbons and her husband Brad of Wayne, and Richard Springwaldt and his wife Debbie of West Brook, NY.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to Saint Judes Children’s Research Hospital, PO Box 1000, Dept. 142, Memphis, TN 38148-0142 would be appreciated.
