Josephine R “Joey”. Morano (nee Gesicki) age 85 of Wayne died Wednesday, July 4, 2007 at the Sunrise Assisted Living Residence in Wayne. Her passing was quiet and peaceful while she received the loving care of her family.
She was born in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania and had lived in Paterson and Totowa before moving to Wayne forty years ago.
Josephine received her formal education at Shenandoah High School in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania graduating with the Class of 1938. She then went on to Georgia Technical College for two years and studied under a special Navy Intelligence agency program.
She served as a WAVE in the United States Navy during World War II in Navy Intelligence, stationed at the Philadelphia Navy Yards.
She was a parishioner of Our Lady of The Valley RC Church in Wayne.
She leaves her family with many fond memories of a very loving and caring wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Mom had a very wonderful way of loving her family that enriched all of their lives.
John and Josephine where married for fifty-five years in a very ‘loving and always together” marriage. The highlight of her life was having grandchildren and a great granchild and she was very much into “loving them to pieces”.
She was a member of the Prime Time Seniors of Annunciation RC Church in Wayne as well as the Wayne Golden Agers.
Traveling throughout the United States was a very special delight as well as her devotion to her church and the joy of reading.
Mrs. Morano was a Bookkeeper for Troy Industries hardware manufacturers in Fairfield before her retirement in 1978.
Surviving are three sons Greg Morano and his wife Maureen of Fort Wayne, Indiana, John Morano and his wife Donna and Rick Morano and his wife Elizabeth all of Wayne; seven grandchildren: Mark Morano and his wife Heather, Paul Morano and his wife Melissa, Amy, John Joseph, Jamie, Lisa and Matthew Morano; one great grandson Jared Morano.
