Gloria Wardle (Trovato) “Nonni” age 92 of Wayne passed peacefully on Friday, May 9, 2014.
She was born and raised in Paterson before moving to Wayne where she made her home for fifty-five years.
Gloria met her future husband Raymond while working at the First National Bank in Paterson. Gloria and Raymond told their children that before they married they were out for a Sunday drive on Alps Road in Wayne when they heard the radio broadcaster announce Pearl Harbor had been attacked. They soon fell in love and married in November of 1944 at the Eastside Presbyterian Church in Paterson and honeymooned at a cabin in the Pines Lake section of Wayne.
She will be remembered as an honest, kind, loyal, fair, empathetic person who was a mother and best friend to all. She loved kids and they all loved her back. Just about everyone who met her called her “Nonni.”
She was proud to be a homemaker and was a great Italian cook. Her homemade apple pies at Thanksgiving will surely be missed. She loved to crochet afghans and baby blankets for her children, grandchildren, neighbors and friends.
She was the loving wife of over fifty years to the late Raymond B. Wardle (1995); beloved mother of Nancy Stanchak and her husband John of Wayne, the late Raymond Wardle (2009), Richard Wardle and his wife Linda of Currituck, North Carolina and James Wardle and his wife Marie of Wayne; cherished grandmother of David Wardle and his wife Stacey, Michael Wardle and his wife Bridget, Stephen Wardle and his wife Lia, Angela Morris and her husband Chet, John Stanchak and his wife Amy, Jeffrey Wardle, Douglas Wardle, Jessica Morrison and her husband Scott, Jennifer White and Raymond Wardle; much loved great-grandmother of Kayla Carpenter, Madilyn Askew, Macy, David, Bennett, and Tessa Wardle; dear sister of Josephine Rose of Neshanic Station and the late Leah Bagli (1990).
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Juvenile Diabetes Association, 26 Broadway, 14th Floor, NY, NY 10004 would be appreciated.
