Joan M. Blum, age 81 of Wayne, died unexpectedly on Sunday, December 28, 2008.
Joan was a resident of Wayne since 1964 with the exception of a few years spent living in Hudson, Florida in the early 1990's. She spent her childhood in Rutherford, NJ. She was currently living at the Siena Village in Wayne since 1995.
She graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Rutherford with the class of 1945 and then attended the Katherine Gibbs School. She began her professional career with Uniroyal and then later with GAF Corporation of Wayne. She retired from GAF in 1989 as an executive secretary.
Joan generally led a quiet life and one of her passions was sewing; she made all of her own clothing and also sewed for her mother. She was devoted to her mother, Emma, and cared for her endlessly until her passing in 1994 at the age of 93.
Joan was also an avid reader of both novels and mysteries; she was a great card player and loved games – all kinds of board games. Her nephews, Edward and Stephen, recall their annual summer vacations to Cape Cod with their Aunt Joan. They built a trove of memories on those trips, and played their share of board games too. Joan had also traveled to Ireland once, as well as to southern California to visit with her nephew Edward.
She is survived by her beloved brother Edward Blum and his wife Rosemary of Wanaque, her two nephews; Edward Blum and his wife Christina of Los Angeles, and Stephen Blum of Wayne, and two great-nephews; Jack Blum and Dash Blum, both of Los Angeles.
