Jean Cerv, age 85 of Wayne, died on Saturday May 5, 2012.
Jean was born at home in Passaic to John and Mary Szot. Her mother had emigrated from Poland when she was just fifteen years old. She graduated from Passaic High School in 1945. She lived in Clifton but as the town became more populated, she decided to move to Wayne in 1965.
Wayne was dotted with farms at that time, and at their first home near Van Peenen’s dairy, it wasn’t uncommon to have a few cows get loose and wander through their yard every so often. Among the places she lived in Wayne throughout the years, Packanack Lake was her favorite. She enjoyed golfing at the Packanack Golf Club and also played bridge every month with a group of her friends. She loved the sense of community there and was thrilled when her daughter bought a house there too. When maintaining her own home became overwhelming she moved to Sisco Village, but driving around Packanack, and visiting with her daughter there, remained a joy to her. She also enjoyed their vacation home in the Pocono’s where she would take the kids skiing in the winter, and they spent a couple of weeks there in the summers. The beach was probably her favorite place to visit and they often went to Point Pleasant Beach, Ocean Beach, and Lavallette at the Jersey Shore.
Jean is survived by her daughter Debbie Cervellino and her husband John of Wayne, and her son Thomas Cerv of Alabama, and one granddaughter.
