Evelyn F. Atieh (nee: Makoujy), 91, a 55 year resident of Wayne, passed away peacefully at her home on February 21, 2016 surrounded by her loving family.
Born in Phillipsburg NJ in 1924 to Naim and Anna Makoujy, Evelyn grew up in Paterson where she met and married Michael in 1950 who predeceased her in 1992. Evelyn worked with her husband at East End Market and The Greeting Place, two businesses they owned over the years. In her later life, she worked at Passaic County VoTech High School and was a beloved volunteer at Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains. She was a long time member of St. Ann Melkite Church in Woodland Park and the American Legion John Raad Post Ladies Auxiliary.
Evelyn was universally loved by everyone who met her. Her smile and personality could light up a room. Evelyn loved cooking for her family and friends, playing bingo and card games, spending summer weekends at the Jersey Shore with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Loving mother of Michael and his wife Leticia of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, Dennis and his wife Sandy of West Milford, Charles and his wife Tina of Wayne, Michelle DeBlasi and her husband Frank of Pompton Plains, Denise Quackenbush and her husband Dave of Pequannock, Evelyn Leenas and her husband Andrew of Ringwood. Beloved sister of Joseph Makoujy, his wife June of Paterson, dear sister-in-law of both Lee Makoujy of Totowa and Lorraine Asbaty and her husband Louis of Cedar Grove. Loving Grandma of 18 grandchildren, Melissa Hurley and her husband Seth, Jessica DeBlasi, Allison Lin and her husband Walt, Michael Atieh and his wife Marley, Steven Atieh, Kevin Atieh, Daniel Atieh and his wife Nicola, Amanda Atieh, Andrew Atieh, David Quackenbush and his wife Courtney, Dennis Quackenbush and his wife Melissa, Dana Volpe and her husband Jonathan, Matthew Atieh, Jenny Atieh, Samantha Leenas, Maggie Leenas, Molly Leenas and Kara Leenas. Cherished Great Grandma to 11 great grandchildren, Madison, Harrison, Aislynn, Ava, Gabriella, Tyler, Julianna, Rilynn, Nora, Dominic and Caroline and the 12th on the way!
