Lillian Anna Roehrs (nee Kleiner) age 93 of Bloomingdale passed peacefully on Sunday, January 4, 2015.
Lillian was a secretary to Principal Walter T. Bergen at the Bloomingdale Elementary School and served as a Pink Lady for twenty-five years at Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains. She served as a medical secretary for Prudential Insurance Company in Newark for several years and later for Dr. Bluestein in Pompton Plains having returned to Chilton Hospital to serve again as a Pink Lady before formally retiring in 1987.
Lillian and Ted met in 8th grade when Ted had placed tacks on Lillian’s chair. They were dating while Ted was serving in the United States Navy. His ship hit a coral reef and he was told he would have a thirty day leave so he called Lillian and said “set a date.” They married on May 3, 1945 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in East Rutherford. They used gas coupons and drove Lillian’s father’s car, a 1937 Dodge, to Niagara Falls, New York for their honeymoon. On the way home Ted picked up a hitchhiker who fell asleep on Lillian’s shoulder. She did not appreciate this at all. They enjoyed sixty-nine years of a loving and devoted marriage.
Lillian enjoyed ice skating, golf, and played Duplicate Bridge for many years and was a member of the North Jersey Country Club in Wayne for eighteen years. She enjoyed traveling all over the world with her husband and have been to destinations such as the Greek and Caribbean Islands, Russia, Poland, Finland, Sweden, Italy, Africa, Greece, Turkey, South America, and China to name a few.
She and her husband were founding members (1949) of Lutheran Church of the Incarnation in Pompton Lakes. They were leaders of the Youth Group.
She was the beloved wife of Theodore Roehrs; devoted mother of Barbara Tintera and her husband John Green Tintera of Pompton Lakes; cherished grandmother of John Tintera and his wife Sally, Union, New Jersey, Ashlie Garb and her husband Randy,Ridgewood New Jersey and Ryan Tintera and his wife Sayorra, South Korea; much loved great-grandmother of Martin and Teddy Tintera, Andrew George Tintera, Jack Emanuel Garb, dear sister of Mildred DeWitt of Vero Beach, FL and her late husband Roland, and pre deceased by her parents, the late John and Barbara Kleiner and brother John.
