Isabelle Jeanne Monk (nee Mauriello), 94, a former resident of Wayne and Livingston, NJ, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 in Wyckoff, NJ. She leaves behind four children, Sharon (Monk) Sevean and her husband Frank, Betsy (Monk) Rieder and her husband Rod, Kathleen (Monk) Stolz and her husband Richard, and William Monk III and his wife Patti (Turner) Monk. She was additionally blessed with eight grandchildren, Megan (Rieder) Dilley, Ryan and Amanda Rieder, Christian and Grant Stolz, Allison (Stolz) Allen, Jennifer Monk and Jacqueline (Monk) Takahashi, and six great-grandchildren. Her husband, William Monk, Jr., died in 1989.
Isabelle was born in Orange, NJ to a large and loving family on May 9, 1919. She was the fourth of Antony and Jemima Mauriello’s six children, all of whom predeceased her. She attended Orange High School and graduated from Berkeley Secretarial School in1939. After graduation, she was employed in the offices of Bamberger’s in Newark. Belle, as she was known to all, met William Monk Jr. when he was serving in the Army Air Corps in 1941 and they were married on April 7, 1943.
When Bill returned to civilian life, Belle and Bill moved to Livingston NJ, where they raised their four children. Belle reentered the business world in the early 60’s and spent a number of years as a secretarial supervisor at the Data Corporation in Orange. She later moved on to a position as administrative assistant at the Sunshine Biscuit Corporation in Pine Brook and worked there until her retirement in 1984.
After Bill’s passing in 1989, Belle moved to Wayne NJ. She became a member of the Wayne United Methodist Church and became an active volunteer. Very much a people person, she enjoyed doing for others. Throughout her life, Belle loved, nurtured and supported her family and valued her many friends. She enjoyed entertaining and took pleasure in celebrating everyone’s special events and milestones. Belle was known for her love of and talent for music – a love she shared with family and friends throughout her life. She will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched. In her final years, it was her joy of music that she shared with her extended family at the Christian Health Care Center.
The family respectfully requests that in lieu of flowers, Belle’s friends consider a donation in her memory to the Christian Health Care Center Foundation, 301 Sicomac Ave., Wyckoff, NJ. 07481
