Frances J. Chormanski, age 90 of Wayne, died peacefully on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2012.
Aunt “Chic”, as she was known to all, was raised in Fairview, NJ and lived most of her life in Cliffside Park before moving to Wayne in 2010. She was one of thirteen children in her family and aunt Chic became the de facto matriarch of the family. She enjoyed a loving and very close relationship with her family that spanned the generations. She held a near and dear place in the hearts of her dozens of nieces and nephews, as well as her own daughter, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Aunt Chic loved to cook for them all and what a wonderful cook she was! Her lasagna, pasta fagioli, and especially her stuffed cabbage were better than anything you can imagine. Her most favorite holiday was Christmas Eve and cooking a large, traditional Italian dinner for the whole family was pure joy to her. It was no surprise to any of them that aunt Chic held on to relish one last Christmas Eve, as if she herself chose this night for her passing.
Aunt Chic met her husband Benjamin in the early 1950’s. She was engaged while he was serving in Korea and after his return, they married in June of 1954. They settled in Cliffside Park and raised their daughter. Sadly, Ben died in 1980 after twenty six years of marriage. Aunt Chic moved to Wayne just two years ago, to be closer to her family, and she remained very independent until just about a month ago. She was blessed with ninety good years and a large family of people who all loved her dearly.
She is survived by her daughter Victoria (Vicky) Veale of Lincoln Park, her three grandsons; James Veale and his wife Karen of Wayne, David Veale and his wife Shirley of Wayne, and Nicholas Veale of New York City, four great-grandchildren; Julia, Tyler, Jimmy and Maggie all of Wayne, three brothers; Alfred Tufano of Connecticut, Louis Tufano and his wife Catherine of Stony Point, NY, and Theodore Tufano and his wife Rose of Cliffside Park. She was predeceased by her husband Benjamin in 1980 and nine brothers and sisters.
