Age 58 of Wayne passed on October 2, 2016.

Inez grew up in Clifton and went to the Clifton High School. She later moved to Pompton Plains before settling in Wayne in 1988.

During her younger years, Inez worked at a deli in the South End Market in Paterson. One day a handsome young man, named Joseph Peia, strolled in to order some sandwiches. Not too long after they married.

Joseph and Inez have shared a wonderful, loving and caring marriage for 37 years. They would take many cruises together, which she loved, along with traveling everywhere around the world, including going to Italy three times.

Inez was an upbeat, positive person. Every night she couldn’t wait to fall asleep because she believed that tomorrow was going to be so great. She was the type of person that would do anything for you. She was a very selfless person who always worried about others more than herself. She was a loving mother and loved her son unconditionally.

Helping people came second nature to Inez. She loved helping in any way she could whether it be by donating blood or clothes, it didn’t matter so long as she was helping.

To quote Ralph Waldo Emerson, “To laugh often and much: To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children. To leave the world a better place…to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” This was Inez’s goal in life and she did it graciously and generously.

For Many years Inez worked beside her husband and son at Encore Motor Cars in Pine Brook as an Office Manager. She ran that office meticulously and kept it in perfect order. She was very proud of the work she did there.

Inez liked to cook and was a great mom. She loved to feed and watch the birds. They spent many summers at Toms Lake in Wayne. She loved to read, especially novels, the classics. She could read a novel in two days.

Inez is survived by her loving husband Joseph of Wayne, her son Joseph Peia, Jr. of Wayne, her mother Inez Agostino of Clifton, sister, Virginia Fillare of Franklin, brothers, Elio and Rocco Agostino of Clifton, and many loving nieces and nephews.
