Jennifer A. Bonsanto, aged 56, of Wayne, passed away on November 28, 2023, leaving behind a legacy of love, warmth, and a life well-lived. Jennifer was a proud graduate of Wayne Hills High School and Fairleigh Dickinson University. Her journey through life was marked by a remarkable career, and a deep commitment to her family. One of Jennifer’s most endearing qualities was her quick-witted remarks and clever observations bringing humor to all who were fortunate enough to share in her company.
Jennifer commenced her professional journey as a skilled beautician, bringing joy and confidence to those who entrusted her with their care. Later, she transitioned into the steamship industry, showcasing her versatility and determination in pursuing her passions.
A devoted wife to Michael Bonsanto, the love of her life for the past 32 years. Jennifer's love extended to her cherished children, Nicholas, 23 and Julianna, 18. Her role as a mother was central to her identity, and the love she bestowed upon her family was immeasurable.
Jennifer is survived by her sisters Suzanne Ricciardelli and Mabel Van Daalen, along with their respective spouses Vincent Ricciardelli and Bill De Mio. She will be dearly missed by her nephew Vincent Ricciardelli and his girlfriend Margot Kolator, niece Jacalyn Van Daalen, and “newest sister” Jo Ann Richardelli. Jennifer's presence and love created a tapestry of family bonds that will endure through the generations.
Apart from her family, Jennifer had a special affection for Ortley Beach, NJ, where she found solace and joy. Her love for this seaside haven was a reflection of her appreciation for life's simple pleasures.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to Friends of Wayne Animals, American Diabetes Association, or the American Liver Foundation, organizations that held personal significance for Jennifer.
Her memory will forever be etched in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing and loving her. May she rest in peace, surrounded by the love she so freely gave during her time on this earth.
