Joanne Convery, age 82 of Wayne, died peacefully on Tuesday, August 12, 2014.
Born and raised in North Cambridge, MA, she had been a resident of Wayne for 59 years.
Joanne was a devoted homemaker and loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. A true artist, she ran her own ceramics business, aptly called “Joanne’s Ceramics.” Not only did she sell ceramic products, she created them too, and she provided classes, conveying her knowledge of ceramics to many enthusiastic students. Joanne was also an accomplished tole painter, a folk art of decorative painting on wood. She won many awards for her beautiful tole art.
She was the beloved wife of John J. Convery, Sr. After he passed away in 1994 Joanne got involved in many social groups including the Red Hats, Suburban Women’s Club and the Stitching Club, all of Pompton Plains.
Joanne had a sincere faith in God and was a long-time dedicated parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation Parish in Wayne where she was a member of their Seniors Club and where she enjoyed passing time with friends playing Canasta.
Surviving are her four dear children: John J. Convery, Jr. and wife Karen of Fairfield, Timothy F. Convery of Pompton Lakes, Catherine Pettorini and husband Bruce of Wayne, and Maureen C. Moyer and husband Joseph of Frisco, TX; Eight grandchildren: Ryan, Timmy, Sean, Brandon, Erin, John, Frank, and Michael; and her brother Fred Ward and sister Helen Powers. Joanne was predeceased by her beloved husband John Joseph, Sr. in 1994 and her dear son Kevin in 2005.
