Jane passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 16, 2023 while receiving the loving care of her family. Jane was born in Utica, NY and was one of six children to Harry and Mary Saccal. The family resided in Utica, NY until Jane was about 5 years old, they then moved to Paterson, NJ. While growing up in Paterson, Jane attended Our Lady of Lourdes and St Bonaventure High School and graduated with the class of 1956.
As a young girl, Jane met a boy her same age, named Thomas DePasquale. Jane and Thomas, who were intricately connected by the bonds of proximity and time, shared a unique journey that began in the neighborhood where they both grew up. As children, they played and attended school together. As the years passed, so did the seasons of life, and the friendship that blossomed across the street evolved into a profound love. On the memorable day of September 14, 1957, Jane and Thomas exchanged vows, uniting their lives in matrimony at Our Lady of Lourdes Church in Paterson, NJ.
The newlyweds settled in Paterson and while residing there, they welcomed the births of their first two sons, Thomas, and Gary. The family then moved to West Paterson where they welcomed their next two sons, Steven, and David. They raised their children in West Paterson, They moved to Totowa in 1974 and after they had grown, the couple moved to Boonton, NJ in 2004, with their son David to help with child care for his two children Mia and Nicky. David and his wife Ann were respected physicians, Jane and Thomas wanted to ensure that their grandchildren were cared for by family , and help David and Ann pursue professional careers.
Jane, a determined and skilled woman, embarked on her professional journey right after high school, joining the dynamic world of Bell Telephone in the Accounting Department. Her few years of dedicated service to the telecommunications giant allowed her to hone her communication and organizational skills. However, life took an enchanting turn when she found love and had her first child. Faced with the choice between career and family, Jane made the heartfelt decision to embrace the role of a full-time mother. Transitioning from the bustling office environment to the warmth of her home, she poured her energy into creating a nurturing and loving environment for her family. Jane eventually went back to work after her children had grown, helping as a receptionist at the family owned “DePasquale Salon” in Morris Plains, NJ.
Jane was a vibrant and adventurous woman whose zest for life was reflected in her diverse interests. Her passion for traveling took her frequently to destinations in Europe, where she immersed herself in the rich tapestry of cultures, savoring the unique experiences each destination offered. Jane was an avid tennis player and embraced the sport's competitive and social aspects. Complementing her active lifestyle, she found solace in the gym, and maintained a healthy balance between strength and agility. Jane also discovered a tranquil sanctuary on the Yoga mat, harmonizing her mind and body in a practice to achieve an overall well-being.
Aside from all her interests, talents, and hobbies, Jane’s greatest passion in life was for her family. Nothing in the world meant more to Jane than providing for and spending time with her family and friends. She was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. Jane was not only devoted to her family, but she was also devoted to her Catholic Faith. She and her family were parishioners of St Bonaventure Church in Paterson and later St James of the Marches RC Church in Totowa.
Jane was a “larger than life” person who was outspoken and “told it like it is.” Those who knew Jane always knew where they stood with her. Jane will be forever remembered as a truly devoted mother, grandmother, and great grandmother. She was a sincerely special person who touched the lives of all those around her. Jane will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
Jane is survived by her three sons; Thomas DePasquale and his wife Linda of Wayne, NJ, Gary DePasquale and his wife Elisa of Naples, FL, Steve DePasquale and his wife Sue of Lafayette, NJ,and her daughter inlaw Ann of Booton, two brothers Joseph Saccal, and George Saccal, one sister Shirley DeMeyere, nine grandchildren; Thomas DePasquale IV, Dawn Marie DePasquale, Michael DePasquale, Jordan Jane DePasquale, Steven James DePasquale, Robert Thomas DePasquale, Mia Evelyn DePasquale, Nicholas Daniel DePasquale, and Bianca Louise DePasquale, and seven great grandchildren; Julien David DePasquale, Wyatt Jack DePasquale, Daniel Matthew DePasquale, Michael James DePasquale, Harlie Jane DePasquale, and Levi David DePasquale.
