Joyce Trommelen-Perkowski, age 62 of Ringwood, died unexpectedly on Sunday February 21, 2010, while visiting California.
She was born in Prospect Park and graduated from Manchester High School with the class of 1965. She was employed with Decker Transport for thirty five years at several of their locations including Riverdale & Parsippany, NJ, Willard, OH, and Memphis, TN. She was devoted to the company, regularly working sixty hours per week, and truly enjoyed what she did and the friends she made there. She reluctantly retired in 2007 after the company closed their New Jersey offices.
In 1989 she married Richard Perkowski. They had been introduced by a mutual friend at Decker Transport and enjoyed nearly twenty years of devoted marriage. Joyce’s brother, Ronald Trommelen, was Mayor of Prospect Park in 1989 and he officiated at their wedding.
Joyce was a terrific cook and could make everything taste good. She particular enjoyed hosting all the big holiday dinners and celebrations. They hosted more than sixty people at their home this past Fourth of July and Joyce loved getting all those family and friends together. It was her personal mission to keep the family all very close and she did it well.
Joyce is survived by her beloved husband of twenty years; Richard Perkowski of Ringwood, one brother; Bill Trommelen and his wife Linda of West Milford, sister-in-laws; Pat Smith of Ringwood, Carol Trommelen of Wayne, and Pat Trommelen of Midland Park, one brother-in-law; James Perkowski and his wife Lilliana of Clifton, as well as many dear nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her sister Janet Fowler of Downey, California in 2009, and by two brothers; Edward Trommelen of Wayne in 1988, and Ronald Trommelen of Prospect Park in 1994.
As expressions of sympathy, donations may be made in Joyce’s memory to the American Heart Association, One Union Street, Robbinsville, NJ 08691.
