Jane H. Phelan (nee Dobrosielska-Peffal) age 97 of Pequannock on Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at home. Her passing was quiet and peaceful.
She was born in Troy, New York and had lived in Paterson later moving to Pequannock where she lived for the past forty-one years.
Jane spent most of her formative years in Paterson however her Mother took her to Poland for several extended stays so that she and her sisters would have the opportunity of advance education at special trade skills.
She had a wonderful life time experience of health and vigorous living until just recently when she started to evidence a failing of her health. Even then she made fun of her infirmities stressing the positive side of life.
“Mom had a wonderful sense of humor and could manage to laugh at every situation she found herself in”. “She always had a saying or an upbeat story that would describe her plight and make those around her laugh.”
Her favorite activites where gardening and shopping. She would shop till she dropped and always got the best price on anything she purchased. She was very much aware of the world around her and was very astute at current affairs and the events going on in the world.
Jane had two marriages the first was to Charles Peffal in 1935 and they had a daughter together named Arlene. They were married for forty years in a “loving marriage”. Charles developed a severe heart condition and she nursed him through very difficult times until his passing in 1975 at age seventy-five.
She then married William Phelan who passed away in 2002. He also had health problems and was blind. They had a good and compatible marriage together until Bill’s passing in 1982.
She leaves her family with wonderful memories of a very loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother. She possessed a wonderful personality coupled with a sense of entertaining humor.
Surviving are one daughter Arlene Franchino and her husband Philip of Wayne; one grandson Philip Franchino and his wife Donna of West Milford and one granddaughter Debbie Franchino of Wayne.
