Lois Edna Paterson age 81 of Wayne died Monday, July 7, 2008, at the Hospice of New Jersey at Saint Joseph's Wayne Hospital, Wayne while receiving the loving comfort of her children and sister.
She was born in Paterson and lived in Clifton before moving to Wayne fifty-one years ago. She graduated from Clifton High School with the class of 1944.
Mrs. Paterson was a seamstress who loved her craft. Her accomplishments included slip covers, wedding gowns, draperies and alterations and she was still sewing for family and friends up until January of this year.
Lois was an excellent baker and cook. Her family fondly remembers her stroganoff and the little éclairs she would make.
She is best described as a compassionate, thoughtful, caring and loving daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and aunt who was a straightforward, "tell it like it is" person. She also was a great confidant with whom you could share your most private thoughts and know they would go no further.
Mrs. Paterson was a long-time member of the Preakness Baptist Church where she volunteered her services in many aspects. She will be truly missed by her Church family.
She is the former wife of the late Joseph B. Paterson, Sr.(2004); loving mother of Jill Kenyon and fiancé Herb of Cromwell, CT, Joseph "Jay" B. Paterson, Jr. and his wife Loekie of Vernon Hills, IL, and Joan Marel Leach and her husband Joseph of Pennsauken, NJ; cherished grandmother of Andrew James Kenyon of Cromwell, CT, Karen Marlo Kenyon Cruz and her husband Matthew of Globe, AZ, Matthew Schuyler Kenyon and his fiancé Isabel of New London, CT, Patrick Michael Kenyon and his fiancé Nikki of Norwich, CT, Katherine Ruth Leach and Joseph Michael Leach both of Pennsauken, NJ, Morgan Brittany Paterson of Vernon Hills, IL, and Kimberly Knight of North Caldwell; devoted great-grandmother of Narice and Maya Dibble and Matthew Cruz, Jr. of Globe, AZ; , Paige and Madison Collins of North Caldwell, NJ; beloved sister of Joan Naomi Fairclough Cochrane of Hawthorne and the late William and Robert Fairclough and Jacqueline Mully; she was also a dedicated aunt to many loving nieces and nephews who will fondly remember her as "A.L.".
