Joan Ruth Di Donato (nee Kaminski) age 79 of Wayne passed on Sunday, March 17, 2013.
She was born and raised in Paterson having lived in West Paterson before moving to Wayne almost fifty years ago.
Joan was a member of the United Methodist Church in Wayne.
She was a Matron with the Order of the Eastern Star, a member of the Red Hats of Wayne and active with the Golden Age Circle of Wayne.
Joan was truly dedicated to her family and will be remembered as a person who was generous, loving, had a witty sense of humor, was always impeccably dressed, and enjoyed time with friends creating all kinds of arts and crafts.
She met her future husband Joseph Di Donato while on a double date with her sister. They married on April 3, 1954 and honeymooned at Niagara Falls New York and actually left there because they didn’t like the dampness and cold. They enjoyed fifty-nine years of a loving and caring marriage.
Joan was predeceased by her husband Joseph Di Donato, Sr. in 2008. She was the devoted mother of Joseph Di Donato, Jr. and his wife Lisa of Wayne, and Michele Di Donato of Boonton; cherished grandmother of Joseph Di Donato, III, and Victoria Lee Di Donato; dear sister of Joseph Kaminski and his wife Marge of Paterson, John Kaminski and his wife Darlene of Ringwood, and the late Lillian Duffy, and late Leo Kaminski.
