Irene Hanzl (nee Chimileski) age 95 of Pompton Lakes died peacefully at home on Friday, January 6, 2012.

She was born and raised in Clifton and left high school at the age of 16 to seek employment and help with the family finances. She worked at the Old Spice Division of the Shulton Corporation in Clifton for several years. She lived in Paterson, Toms River and Wayne before moving to Pompton Lakes 3 years ago.

Irene met Alois “Al” Hanzl while on a blind date. They fell in love and married on October 14, 1949 and enjoyed sixty-nine years of loving, devoted, marriage before Al’s passing in 2007.

She was dedicated to her Roman Catholic faith and was a member of St. George’s RC Church, and the church’s Rosary Society, in Paterson.

Irene was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She took great pride in the accomplishments of her family. A great cook and baker, her special touch on traditional Polish dishes will be greatly missed.

She was the loving wife of the late Alois “Al” Hanzl(2007); devoted mother of Lois Roszko and her husband Robert of Wanaque, and Carol Galamb and her husband Bruce of Pompton Lakes; cherished grandmother of Alyssa Przystawik, Stephen Galamb, Leslie Galamb and Allison Stone; dear great-grandmother of Gunter, Annika and Nolan; beloved sister of the late Stella Del Favero, Theodore “Togie” Chimileski, Edward “Cangy” Chimileski, Benjamin Chimileski, and Adolph “Muzzy” Chimileski.
