Helen Guzik (nee Rog) age 84 of Newton, formerly of Pompton Lakes died peacefully on Sunday, May 6, 2012.

She was born in Clifton and met the love of her life, Edmund S. Guzik, through her extended family. They married on September 13, 1947 at Saint Josephs RC Church, Passaic. They took a bus to the Poconos for their honeymoon and established their home in Paterson.
