Lucille Alice Petersen (nee Ringen-Mohn) age 80 of Pompton Plains formerly of Pines Lake in Wayne, died Thursday, January 10, 2013 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pequannock. Her family was gathered around her bedside and witnessed her peacefully go off to a new beginning in heaven.
She was born in Orange, New Jersey and lived her childhood years in West Orange where she received her formal education at the Pleasantdale Elementary School in West Orange and also the West Orange High School, graduating with the Class of 1949. Lucille went on to study nursing at Cornell University School of Nursing and after a five year intensive program she received a Degree in Nursing with the Class of 1954 and her Registered Nurse Degree with the Class of 1955.
Her life work was a special dedication to helping the infirm, ill and disabled. Although she worked for a short time as a nurse, her skills and executive abilities motivated her to the administrative level of nursing care. One of her early work experiences involved employment at the Paterson General Hospital where she served as the Director of Volunteers. She was employed by the State of New Jersey Office of the Ombudsman where she was in charge of NJ State Licensed nursing homes to ensure that their facilities and level of care were adequate for their patients. She also served as administrator for the Reformed Church Retirement Home in Hackensack as well as for the Wanaque Nursing Home in Wanaque. In addition she had her own business, LRM Associates, which was focused on support for the elderly.
Lucille was gifted in life with a very high intelligence coupled with a very inquisitive, gracious and wonderful personality that was welcoming all who came to her person and her door. She simply loved to be with people, an attribute she combined with her passion for travel with her husband Henry as they traveled the globe to far-flung destinations including China, Antarctica, Kenya, Iran, islands of the South Pacific and many, many other adventurous locations.
She was a member of the Pines Lake Garden Club and was active with the Preakness Reformed Church in Wayne.
She married Henry Petersen on August 28th, 2000. She and Henry had known each other for many years as their children grew up together. Finding love in her later years brought her a joy that she truly cherished.
Sadness visited her life journey when in August18, 2012 her first husband David Mohn predeceased her.
Surviving to mourn her loss in their lives are her husband Henry Petersen; four sons Peter Mohn and his wife Annie of Vernon, Douglas Mohn and his wife Joanne of Lincoln Nebraska, Jon Mohn and his wife Judy of Saratoga, California, Dwight Mohn and his wife Sharon of Huntington, Vermont; one daughter Heather Kahl and her husband David of West Milford; Henry Petersen and his wife Lynn of West Milford and Nancy Tambe and her husband Nicholas of Wayne; Ten Grandchildren including Kimberly and Jillian Mohn, Kristen Spangler and her husband Cody, Danielle Hoefer and her husband Scott, David, Sarah, Natalie, Logan Mohn, Taylor and Trevor Kahl, Nicole Mueller and her husband Andrew. Four great-grandchildren Connor, Liam, Harper and Hunter.
