Helen McDermott Lange, age 90, passed away at home on Sunday, April 3, 2011. If only one word could be chosen to describe her it might be “selfless”. Added to that would be “intelligent”, “kind”, “loyal” and “fun”.
She was born in Bayonne, New Jersey and married her sweetheart, Arthur Lange, at age 19. They were wonderful dancers, and Helen was voted the “Queen of Rhythm” in high school.
They lived in Jersey City for fourteen years, where their two children, Joan and Art Jr., were born. In 1955 they moved to Little Ferry where Helen lived until eight years ago, when she moved to Wayne. Arthur passed away in 1985 at the early age of 67. Helen was a parishioner of Immaculate Heart of Mary R.C. Church in Wayne.
She was very much loved by her son, Arthur Lange, Jr., of Orcas Island, Washington, her daughter, Joan Feeney and her husband Paul of Wayne, her grandson Matthew Feeney and wife Linda and great-grandchildren, Kristen and Kevin Feeney of Wayne, her granddaughter Sharon Feeney and partner Holly Gera of Morris Plains, her granddaughter, Catherine Smith and husband Dan and great grandchildren, Brian, Mary and Danny Smith of Wayne and her brother, William McDermott and wife Vivian, and her niece, Kelly Eckert of Clifton. Hers was a life well lived and she will be greatly missed.
For those planning an expression of sympathy, Helen would have appreciated a donation in her memory to her favorite charity, the Disabled Veterans of America, P.O. Box 14301, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45250-0301.
