Jean T Taraszkiewicz of Wayne died on Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at the Regency Gardens in Wayne.
Jean was born in North Bergen and enjoyed her childhood in Garfield, NJ. After getting married, she lived in Edison, Fort Lee, and Toms River for twenty years before moving to Wayne in 2005.
Jean and her husband George had been in the bakery business for many years. In the 1960’s, they owned the Raritan Bakery in Edison for seven years and later owned Rudolph’s Bakery in Fairview, NJ for fifteen years before retiring in 1995. She and her husband worked well together with her handling the front counter and finances while he did all the baking.
They absolutely loved to travel together and the destinations they had visited took them around the world. Norway, Japan, Disney World, Singapore, all over Europe including Spain, Portugal, and Poland, Hawaii, and many cruises, just to name a few. When their children were younger, they used to take their annual summer vacation to the Roaring Brooks Dude Ranch up at Lake George, NY. The children have many fond memories of those family vacations and, as teenagers, they were elated when mom and dad announced “instead of Lake George this summer, we’re all going to Hawaii!” It’s safe to say that they saw it all.
Jean’s family recalls her being a very kind and gentle person, soft spoken, with strong maternal instincts. She was always concerned for her children and when grandchildren entered her life, those maternal instincts emerged even stronger. When she was around, the kids would always be wrapped in three blankets and more if she thought it necessary, always well fed and never in want of anything. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren dearly.
Jean met her husband George on a blind date that had gotten mixed up – she was not the girl that George was supposed to meet that night. Fate certainly intervened and they hit it off so well that only three days later George showed up at her doorstep and asked for her parent’s permission to marry. They married in 1947 and enjoyed fifty five years as a very close and loving couple, always holding hands whenever they walked together.
Jean is survived by her two loving daughters; Gloria Kaufhold and her husband Wayne of Upper Holland PA, and Diane Cleary and her husband Joseph of Wayne, three grandchildren; Christofer Kaufhold and his wife Jeanne of PA, Sarah Kaufhold of PA, and Janet Rutan and her husband Brian of Wayne, two great-grandchildren; Christofer and Jonathan Kaufhold of PA, one One sister; Mary Yurchick of Fairview and one brother Edward Choromanski and his wife Julie of Fort Lee. She was predeceased by her husband George in 2002 and her brother Joseph Choromanski.
