Enis Y. DeVito (nee Mele) age 82 of Kinnelon, formerly of Weehawken passed Sunday, October 2, 2011 at the NY Presbyterian Hospital.
She was born and raised in West New York, NJ and lived in Weehawken before moving to Kinnelon five years ago. She was a bookkeeper /insurance adjuster for Markel Service in New York City and then dedicated herself to raising her family. After her children got older she took a position as a Podiatric Assistant for Dr. Anthony Grieco in Hoboken before formally retiring in 1985.
Enis met the love of her life Ralph DeVito at a local community dance in Hudson County and they were married on Easter Sunday, March 28, 1951 at Our Lady of Libera RC Church, West New York. They enjoyed twenty-six years of a loving, dedicated, fun, marriage that could easily be equated to “Lucy & Ricky” of the famous I Love Lucy program.
She will be remembered as a lady who was: stylish, compassionate, generous, always putting others first, matter of fact, honest, sincere, spiritual and a cornerstone of family traditions. Her special touch on historical family recipes including Easter Pie, Easter Bread, and especially her Ricotta Cheesecake will be greatly missed.
Enis was never an animal person until she moved in with her daughter Joanne and her husband Anthony. She developed an immediate bond to the late Lana, a Bichon Frise, and to two rescued Chihuahua’s Buddy and Mimi.
She was the devoted wife of the late Ralph DeVito(1977); loving mother of Ralph John DeVito and his wife Elizabeth of Long Valley, Joanne DePalma and her husband Anthony of Kinnelon; cherished grandmother of Christopher, Gregory and Stephen DeVito, and Anthony and Gianna DePalma; loved sister of Anthony R. Mele and his wife MaryAnn of Woodcliff Lake, and the late Filomena and Ortenzio Albanese, Madelyn and Joseph Cinque, and Ralph J. Mele and his surviving wife Gloria of Paramus; loved sister in law of Lena Conrad of Wanaque and her husband John.
