Jessie Meyer age 94, of Wayne for over ninety years died peacefully on Monday, December 10, 2007 with her family by her side.

She was born in her parents home in Prospect Park and moved to Weinmanns Boulevard in the Preakness section of Wayne where her family had a farm. She attended approximately six months of high school at Central High School, Paterson before dropping out of school as the walk along Preakness Avenue was just too far.

She worked with her father on his milk route and then got a job in a Ribbon factory in Paterson where she worked on the assembly line tying lace. Jessie later was employed by the Paterson Box Lunch where she worked for thirty-eight years before retiring in 1975.

Jessie had a love of the outdoors, whether it was camping with her family, gardening or cutting the lawn. She was a quiet, unassuming, loving and supportive person who “was always there for you”.

She was predeceased by her parents Richard and Annie(nee Decker) Meyer; She was the loving sister of the late Louise Meyer(1929), the late John Meyer(2000) and his surviving wife Jen of Michigan, the late Peter Meyer(1982) and his late wife Thelma(1998) and her late brother Gilbert Meyer(1990) and his late wife Wilma(1993).

Jessie is the cherished aunt of many nieces and nephews. Her love was especially devoted to her niece Karen; great nephew Scott; great niece Heather; and her great nephew, friend and “buddy”, Jeff. Aunt ‘Chet’, as she was know to many, will always remain in our hearts.
