Ellen M. Priolo, age 83 of Wayne and formerly of Pompton Lakes, died peacefully on Tuesday, December 10, 2013.
Eileen, as she was known by all, was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland. As a young woman in her twenties, she left her family, including her nine siblings and emigrated to the United States with a girlfriend, both in search of the American dream! Upon her arrival, she took a job as a nanny for a doctor in Garden City, NY.
Eileen took a great interest and liking to dancing and one night she went to a singles dance where she met the man who quickly became the love of her life! His name was Michael Priolo and they married in 1983, eventually settling in Pompton Lakes.
After marriage, Eileen took a job at Wayne Valley High School as a breakfast server. She loved this job and it suited her warm, friendly, outgoing personality perfectly. Eileen made friends easily and over the twenty-six years that she served as “the breakfast lady”, she did make many friends indeed! She retired in 2009 and, following her beloved husband Michael’s passing in 2006, she moved to Siena Village. Here, too, she quickly endeared herself to those who she would soon refer to as her “Siena Village friends.”
Eileen is survived by three of her nine brothers and sisters: Ann and husband Dan Smith; Mary and husband Terry McKewon; Jimmy Russell, along with many nieces and nephews, all of Belfast, Northern Ireland.
In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Eileen’s name are asked to consider making a donation to a charity of their choice.
If you would like to send a private condolence directly to the family use this condolence section.
A memorial service will take place at a future date and details will be posted as they develop.
