Jennie Naples (nee Presto) age 91 and 7 months of Toms River died on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at the Lakeland Health Care Center, Haskell.
She was born in Saint Louis, Missouri and at the age of three her parents moved to Far Rockaway’ New York. Two years later they moved to Passaic, New Jersey. Jennie received her formal education at Passaic Public Grammar School No. 11.
The Presto family consisted of her parents Perry and Rose Presto and seven children. In those days it was absolutely necessary that as soon as possible that you get a job and help support the family. Jennie did just that and became a seamstress at age 14 and did indeed help support her family. She pursued that line of work until 1969 when she retired from the work force.
In 1980 she along with her husband Tom moved to Toms River and lived in a retirement community.
Jennie was gifted all of her life with a wonderful extraverted social personality that caused her to have many friends. It was that upbeat personality that helped her through life.
Her fined dedication in life was being a wife, mother and grandmother. She was a wonderful mother to her two daughters JoAnn Spero, Bloomingdale, N.J. and Rosalie Zapotasky, Ringwood, N.J. and when grandchildren came into the world it was a delightful experience being a grandmother.
Jennie was devoted to her Roman Catholic faith and was a parishioner for many years of Saint Anthony’s RC Church in Passaic and while in Toms River at Saint Joseph’s RC Church. Her church life included many societies within the church including the Rosary Society.
In 1943 during World War II she married the boy across the street named Thomas J. Naples. They married while he was on leave from the Army Air Force duty on April 25, 1943 and they had forty-eight years of “devoted marriage” until Tom’s passing on September 13, 1991.
Surviving to mourn the loss of this very special mother are three daughters JoAnn Spero and her husband Joseph of Bloomingdale and Rosalie Naples-Zapotasky of Ringwood, and Pat Chmelar and her husband Rudy of Norton Shores, Michigan; seven grandchildren Thaddeus James Spero, Brian Theodore Spero, Christopher Raymond Zapotasky, Robert Anthony Zapotasky, Paul Joseph Zapotasky, Michelle Chmelar and Rudy Chmelar, Jr.; nine great-grandchildren Nathaniel Thomas Spero, Felicia Elizabeth Spero, Miranda Mae Spero and Garron Joseph Spero, Anthony Raymond Zapotasky, Michael Ribot, Daphne Ribot, Hayden Zapotasky, and Maureen Chmelar.
