Irene C. Hannan (nee Riley), age 92, of Wayne, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 18, 2017 while in the presence of her loving family.
She was born in Paterson to Frank and Clara Riley. She graduated from St Mary’s High School with the Class of 1943 and has lived in Wayne for the past sixty-eight years.
After graduating from High School, Irene went to work in a grocery store for a couple of years. During her employment there a women by the name of Mary Hannan stopped in the store frequently to buy daily groceries. She thought that Irene was a lovely young lady and asked her if she would be interested in meeting her son William Hannan. Eventually Irene agreed to the meeting and as fate would have it they fell in love and were married shortly after the Second World War on December 26, 1948. They were married in Lady of the Lourdes RC Church in Paterson. They lived together in Paterson for a couple of years then in 1950 they moved to Wayne. It wasn’t long after they got married that Irene dedicated her life to a rewarding and noble career of a homemaker. Wayne is where they would call home and raise their six adoring children. William and Irene cherished fifty-two years of loving and loyal marriage together until William’s passing in January of 2000.
Irene loved to cook and was an extraordinary baker. Her family remembers many large family holiday dinners together throughout the years. Irene was also dedicated to her Roman Catholic Faith and was a parishioner of Saint Mary’s RC Church, Pompton Lakes for many years. Aside from her cooking and baking and other interests, Irene’s greatest love was for her family. She was a devoted Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother. Irene touched the lives of many people and she will be sincerely missed by her family and friends alike.
She was the loving wife of the late William J. Hannan, Sr. (2000); devoted mother of Marie Cioletti and her husband Kenneth of Wayne, Patricia Popovich and her husband John of Wayne, Irene Graham of Franklin Lakes, Mary Boughton and her husband Scot of Wayne, William J.
