Elsie Scheidemann, (nee Domitrowitz), age 78, of Wayne, passed away in her home on Saturday, February 6, 2016.
Elsie was born in Passaic and raised in the city of Clifton. After graduating from Clifton High School, she quickly landed a job in the accounting department at the Bell Telephone Company. She worked there for several years until she met her husband Ernest Scheidemann, and they were married in 1958.
Elsie then took on the difficult and strenuous job of a homemaker. She spent the next thirty years of her life caring for and raising her seven children. She also went on to care for her grandchildren full time for several years as well. After being a stay-at-home mom, Elsie decided to re-enter the workforce. This was a decision that her family thought took great courage. She applied for a job as a teller at Wayne Savings Bank and spent the next twenty years working in the banking industry, eventually attaining the position of Assistant Branch Manager at Valley National Bank. She was very proud of this, especially after not being in the workforce for so many years.
Elsie was very artistic and enjoyed oil painting. She loved to paint all types of subjects including animals, beautiful outdoor scenes, and her favorite New York Yankees such as Derek Jeter, of whom she was a great fan. Her house was filled with her artwork, which her family will forever cherish. Most of all, Elsie had a true love for animals, especially dogs. She was happiest when surrounded by her furry friends and had as many as four dogs at one time. Her adored Puggles, Max and Maggie, will greatly miss her.
Elsie was devoted to her Catholic faith and her family. She was a very loving and proud mother and grandmother. Her family remembers her being compassionate, thoughtful, and always deeply concerned about everyone close to her. Elsie was a very special person who touched the lives of many people, and she will be missed by her friends and family alike.
Elsie is survived by her husband Ernest; five daughters: Annmarie Reidy and her husband Keith of Wayne, Susan Mulvihill and her husband Steve of Wayne, Barbara Sher of Tucson, AZ, Laura Pizzi and her husband Daniel of Moorestown, and Sara Condrey and her fiancé Mark Prout of Suwannee, GA; two sons: Ernest and his fiancé Christine Behm of Naples, FL, and James and his wife Lori of Wayne; and 15 grandchildren: Keith, Casey, Alyssa, Brittany, Bryant, Kyle, Andrew, Alex, Jake, Erin, Sarah, Rebecca, Hannah, Danny, and Jillian. She was predeceased by her grandson Michael Scheidemann in January 2014.
