Loretta Roslasky of Wayne, better known as "Sweet Loretta", passed peacefully on Tuesday, September 23, 2014 at the age of 93.
She was born and raised in Paterson and moved to East Paterson (Elmwood Park) after she was married. In 1999 she moved to Wayne to be closer to her children.
Through her sister Kay, Loretta met her soul mate, Edward Roslasky. Edward served in the Army during WWII, and the two had a pen-pal romance. Upon his return from the service, they married and honeymooned in Niagara Falls, New York. They had three children before Eddie's untimely passing in 1968. Loretta never fell out of love with Ed and carried her love for him throughout her entire life.
Loretta was the loving mother of Gail Cleeland (wife of Tom), Ronald Roslasky (husband of Margie), and the late Carol Spitzner (wife of David); cherished grandmother of Heather, Tammy, Kerri, Lindsay, Caitlin, Edward, and Phillip; much loved great-grandmother of Tyler, Hunter, Kailey, Hope, and Caeden.
Her kind nature and bubbly personality helped in her profession as a hostess and waitress. She worked at Ten Pin on the Mall, Wolfie's Deli, the Italian Circle, and Dunkin' Donuts. She knew everyone and could always be heard saying, "You know me... I'm Loretta!"
Loretta was devoted to her Catholic faith. She was a parishioner of Saint Leo's Roman Catholic Church in East Paterson and was also active in Saint Gerard's Roman Catholic Church in Paterson.
For many years she was a member of the Riverside Vets in Paterson. Loretta also loved being "down the shore" and a member of the "Silver Beach Gang". She enjoyed boating, kayaking, and even jet skiing.
Loretta was an active member of the Passaic County Senior Services group known as "The Seniors" in Totowa for many years. Her outgoing personality within the community was recognized by the Passaic County Sheriff, Edwin Englehardt, when he deputized and issued her a badge. She was very proud of her badge and it was always within an arm's reach.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Alzheimer's Association, 400 Morris Ave., Suite 251, Denville, NJ 07834 would be appreciated.
