Geraldine Ricciardelli, age 88 of Wayne, died on Wednesday, December 28, 2016. She had lived in Toms River since 1978 and moved to Wayne in 2012.
Geraldine was raised in Newark and lived on Summer Ave. She was one of nine children in her family, born right in the middle, with four younger siblings, and four older. She worked before becoming a full time mother, and later worked briefly for the Newark School System, doing clerical work. She enjoyed crafting and passed the time watching shopping channels on cable TV. She rarely bought anything, but she sure loved to see all that was available. She cooked every day and her favorite ingredient was garlic! Somehow she managed to cook everything with garlic, and she used it generously.
Geraldine met her husband Joseph in the early 1950’s and they were married on November 15, 1953 at St. Lucy’s Church in Newark. They settled right there in Newark, where they both worked, until retirement. In 1978, they moved to Toms River where they enjoyed a long and comfortable retirement. After fifty one years of marriage, Joe passed away in 2004 and Geraldine eventually decided to move to Wayne where she could be closer to her family. She had been a resident at Sisco Village since 2012.
