Evelyn “Evie” Mc Mullen(nee Daniels) age 92 of Wayne died Monday, June 09, 2008 at Saint Vincent’s Care Home, Cedar Grove.

She was born in Barre, VT and lived in Belleville, Clifton and Boynton Beach, FL before moving to Wayne seven years ago.

Evelyn graduated from Belleville High School, Belleville with the class of 1934. For many years she had been a member of the Order of the Eastern Star, Clifton.

She attended Saint Timothys Evangelical Lutheran Church, Wayne.

Evelyn was a Bank Teller and Assistant Secretary for the DeWitt Savings & Loan, Belleville for sixteen years before her retirement in 1976.

As a young girl Evelyn went to a local grocery store and saw a clerk named Robert McMullen and said: “that’s the man I’m going to marry”. Robert, during the depression years, asked Evelyn to a “Hard Luck” dance to be held on Friday the thirteenth. From then on he always called Friday the thirteenth his “lucky day”. They married on June 25, 1938 and had a loving and devoted marriage for fifty-four years, during which they never had angry words between them.

Without question she had tremendous pride in the accomplishments of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her patience was saint-like, her laugh infectious and she was an expert at going out to lunch and shopping.

Devoted wife to the late Robert McMullen(1992); beloved mother of Barbara Resta and her husband Stephen of Long Beach Twp and Carol Labadie and her husband George of Wayne; loving sister of the late Edward Daniels(1999); cherished grandmother of Joanne Serek and her husband John of Wayne, Judi Catherwood and her husband Douglas of Montvale, Karen Cappo and her husband John of Wayne, James Labadie of Jupiter, FL, Thomas Labadie and his wife Paige of Chatham; Kimberly Dunkel and her husband Michael of Cornwall, NY and Craig Resta and his wife Angela of Cornwall, NY; much loved great-grandmother of Amanda Serek of Wayne, Mackenzie and Grayson Catherwood of Montvale, Matt and Kelly Cappo of Wayne, Alyssa Labadie of Chatham, Haley and Jenna Resta and Carley and Molly Dunkel all of Cornwall, NY.
