Elizabeth B. “Libby” Caramanna(nee Fitch) age 80 of Wayne died on Thursday, July 10, 2008 at home with the comfort of her family by her side.

She was born in Louisville, KY, lived in Paterson, Upper Saddle River for over thirty-five years, before moving to Wayne six years ago.

Elizabeth met her husband Salvatore at a local dance. He was stationed at and eventually discharged from Fort Knox, KY.

Some of her most outstanding qualities were her love of her husband, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was happiest when all were together, especially at the many years of Sunday dinners at her home. She had a great sense of humor and yet was a “tough cookie” in regards to her outspoken – tell it like it is - personality. She had a great devotion to her disabled daughter Diana whom she has taken loving care of for over fifty years.

She was predeceased by her loving husband of fifty-five years Salvatore “Sam” Caramanna(2002); loving mother of Jacqueline Thompson and her husband Harold of Totowa, Diana Caramanna of Wayne, and Steven Caramanna and his wife Eva of Wayne; loving grandmother of Harold Thompson, Jr. and his wife Adriana of Little Falls, Vincent Thompson and his wife Kerry of West Caldwell, Elizabeth McGovern and her husband Michael of Little Falls, and Brigitte Caramanna of Wayne; cherished great-grandmother of Dylan, Jakob and Emilia Thompson and Michael McGovern, Jr.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Special Olympics-NJ, 3 Princess Rd., Lawrenceville, NJ 08648 would be appreciated.
