Jennie S. Kuss (neé Szczech) age 94 of Wayne died Tuesday, July 3, 2012 with her loving family at her bedside.
She was born in Passaic and spent her formative years on her family’s dairy farm located in Belle Meade. She received her formal education at Belle Meade grammar school and her high school education at Somerville High School graduating with the Class of 1935.
The great depression was in full swing in 1935 and she found jobs continually to help support her family. Jennie did house cleaning and whatever was available including secretarial work. At some point in time she went back to Passaic and found work at Bendix Aviation as a stater winder for over thirty years before retiring in 1980.
She was responsible for many of the motor parts used in the Appollo space program.
Her finest dedication in life was as a wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. When the tragedy of losing her husband in October 1983 took place she rededicated her love and energy to her family.
She met Joseph Kuss through a cousin. He was the only family member with a car and provided transportation for everyone in the family. He went off to war and came home and immediately proposed marriage to Jennie. They had one date to a movie and then married. The final result was that they had a good and loving marriage together for 38 years before his passing in October of 1983.
Jennie was gifted with a very social personality, perhaps a natural social butterfly and enjoyed the presence of many friends. She was a member of the Golden Age Circle in Wayne, the Bendix Retirees, the VFW of Wallington Ladies Auxilary. Jennie also enjoyed travel; often travelling with her sister, Mary Ann Emmons, around the country.
Surviving to mourn this very special lady in their lives are one daughter Tina Walsh and her husband Edward of Wayne; grandchildren including Edward Walsh, Ian Walsh and his wife Jeannine; great-grandchildren Liam and Keira Walsh.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Wayne First Aid Squad, PO Box 2004, Wayne, NJ 07474 would be appreciated.
