Lynn A. Makara, “Lynnie”, age 47 of Pompton Lakes passed into Life Eternal on Thursday, Jan. 27, 2011. Her passing took place quietly and peacefully with the love of her mother and sister, who were at her bedside.
Lynn was born in Passaic and lived in Wayne and Denville for most of her life. She attended Wayne Public Schools, graduating from Wayne Hills High School Class of 1981. Lynn was quite a drummer, participating in both Marching and Stage Band.
After High School, Lynn attended Cosmetic Academy, earning a license as a Cosmetician. Later she studied Computer Science and was active in professional certifications offered by the Microsoft Corporation. She was a PC Technician and her expertise was repairing/solving software/hardware computer problems.
“Lynnie” was reserved; peppered with a dry and humorous personality that enabled her to be liked by both the young and old. She made many friends, especially through her work.
Family was very important to her and she never missed family gatherings or celebrations. She adored and loved her grandparents and found pleasure in spending time with them. Within the family, she was affectionately called, “Aunt Lynnie”.
As a child, Lynn was always very curious, always asking, “why”? She loved music, especially the “Big Band Era” and the “Hits of the 80’s”. She loved movies and watching reruns of old TV Shows (“The Andy Griffith Show”, “Little House on the Prarie”, “I Dream of Genie”, “The Honeymooners” and “Star Trek”). Lynn loved to cook and was quite good at it, insisting everything be made from “scratch”. She enjoyed “The Food Network”, reading; and, after taking several literary courses, Lynn’s writing
skills became quite apparent.
Surviving are her Mother, Edith Makara of Wayne; her Father, Ronald Makara and his Wife, Gail, of Santa Rose, CA; one Sister, Lori Fadil of Woodstock, NY; her Maternal Grandparents, Connie and Joseph Capobianco of Wayne; Aunt Lorraine and Uncle Robert Klein of Pequannock; Cousins Robert L. Klein and his Wife, Maria of Whippany; Jennifer Klein and Fiance Phillip Damiano of Weehawken; Captain Gary J. Klein, who is serving his country in Afghanistan and his Wife, Jeannine of GA; Second Cousins Jessica and Hannah Klein and Clarrisa and Killian Klein.
Those planning an expression of sympathy in Lynn’s memory are asked to consider St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, 322 N. Lauderdale St., Memphis, TN 38105 – 2729.
