Judi Pine-Cooke age 54 of Wayne died suddenly on Monday, March 3, 2013.
She was born in Passaic and lived in Clifton before the family moved to Wayne in 1960. Judi went through the Wayne School System having attended the Preakness School, Schuyler Colfax Middle School and Wayne Hills High School with the Class of 1977. She attended the University of Bridgeport in Connecticut.
When she was just fourteen years old she worked at the Wayne Hills Mall for a vitamin shop that had a frozen yogurt machine she dreaded cleaning every night. After going to college she worked as a para-legal for Judge Alan Gutfleish in Bergen County. She went to beautician school and received her beautician license and worked as a nail tech for a few years. For many years she has worked in the optical industry having worked for Pearle Vision on Route 46 in Wayne, Clear Eyes on Route 23 in Wayne, and Cohen’s Optical where she worked up until February. She also helped with her late husband's family business Valley Amusements where many fond memories were made with family and friends.
Judi was a caring, loving, funny person who was the first one to do the right thing. She loved to be around and help people. Whether it was helping someone find the perfect glasses frame or opening her home to a friend in need, she was always looking to help others. Most recently her son Brian brought her to the hospital and with her voice out of commission she finally signaled to him that he had to tip the valet that helped them. Her warm personality was always putting others before herself. She loved her family and was especially dedicated to raising her late son Willie (2005) who was born with Cerebral Palsy. She would take him any and everywhere possible. Willie imparted on Judi a great respect for what a gift health and well-being really were.
Judi was the loving wife of the late Brian Cooke (2012); loving mother of Brian DelaBarrera of Wayne, and the late William R. Cooke (2005); loved step-mother of Jennifer Jones and her daughter Destiny of Piscataway; cherished daughter of Dr. Leonard and his wife Sondra Pine of Wayne; dear sister of Michael Pine of Suffern, NY.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Foundation for the Handicapped, 30 Woodridge Terrace, Wayne, NJ 07470 would be appreciated.
