Janice M. Moore (nee Cupit) age 84 of the Pines Lake Section of Wayne died peacefully on Saturday, November 5, 2011 with the comfort of her husband by her side.
She was born in Passaic and lived in Clifton, having graduated from Clifton High School early due to an accelerated course load with the Class of 1944.
Janice, during her high school years, worked at the Western Biscuit Cookie Factory in Passaic with the “odd shift”. The company had an “odd shift” so high school students could work at the factory during WWII as their was a labor shortage.
After high school she continued her education at the Woods Secretarial School, New York City. She later graduated from William Paterson College (now William Paterson University) cum laude, with a degree in business; she was a member of the Beta Chi Chapter of Pi Lambda Theta honor society for business and education.
Janice entered the workforce and soon had a job as an office clerk at the Trow Bridge Conveyor Company in Clifton. She wasn’t fond of this job and soon moved on to become the Secretary to the President of FADA Radio in Belleville. She later worked as the secretary to Alan B. Dumont, president of Dumont Industries in Clifton. Alan B. Dumont was an innovator in the television industry and she enjoyed this work very much. Janice later worked for the Edwards Engineering Company in Pompton Plains as an office manager after which she left the workforce for 18 years to raise her family. After raising her family she found employment with William Paterson University in Wayne where in 1994, after 19 years of service, she retired as assistant to the Dean of the Department of Education.
Janice was an active member of the Preakness Reformed Church in Wayne and was involved with the Brown Bags & Bibles, Koinonia Group and Book Nook.
Forward thinking, she will be remembered for her graciousness, intelligence, and quick wit. She always put others needs before her own and was someone family, friends, and neighbors could confide in. Her quiet, caring way, and ability to help others with compassionate advice, for their troubles and worries will be greatly missed. She also had a love of animals that has been embraced by all her children as well. As her children were raised there were always dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters and all kinds of other creatures in their home.
She met her husband to be Kenneth E. Moore several times even before they ever dated. Ken lived in Passaic and Janice lived in Clifton and both were out and about one Sunday afternoon. Ken was walking down Main Street in Clifton and spied and cute blonde girl with long shapely legs while looking into a sweet shop window. His friend said “I know her” and introduced them. Two years later Ken once again saw Janice while he was working at the Western Biscuit Factory in Passaic they said hello to each other and once again were separated for years. Ken served in the US Army Air Corps in the Marianas during WWII and when he returned home they bumped into each other once again while both were riding a bus in Passaic. Ken and Janice both got off at the same stop and Ken finally pulled the trigger and said “I’ll call you soon”. The rest is history. Two years after this third chance encounter they married at St. Paul’s RC Church, Clifton on July 30, 1949. Their reception was held at Janice’s home at 9 Burgh Ave., Clifton and they honeymooned at the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa Canada.
Janice enjoyed travel and has been taken her family to all of the states within the Continental United States. She has travel extensively with her husband to Ireland, England, Alaska, Hawaii and many other destinations.
Janice was the loving wife of sixty-two years to Kenneth E. Moore; loving mother of Kim M. Moore and her fiancé William Deichmeister of Oakland, NJ , Darin K. Moore and his wife Kari Osaki Moore of Laguna Beach, CA, and Heidi W. Moore and her husband George B. McAuliffe, III of New York City and six grandchildren, Ryan and Alexis Moore, Brooke Eyer, Camilla, Nicholas, and Julian McAuliffe; she was predeceased by her brother Robert Cupit in 2003.
