Madeline Moore age 96 of Wayne passed away peacefully at home on July 4, 2016 while receiving the loving care of her family.
Madeline was born to Camille and Magdalena Vogt who emigrated from Switzerland in the early 1900’s. Madeline was born in Paterson and grew up in North Haledon. She graduated from Hawthorne High School. A few years after graduating from high school and while working in Paterson, she met a gentleman by the name of Norman (Jack) Moore. They wanted to get married before he was shipped overseas, so Jack went AWOL while in an Air Force training course at Yale in New Haven, CT. They were married on May 14, 1943 at her parent's home in North Haledon. Afterwards, Jack quickly traveled back to New Haven. He got back safely without getting into any trouble. They spent the next sixty-seven years together in a loving, loyal marriage until Norman’s passing in 2010.
Madeline and Jack settled in Haledon after the war and raised their two children there. They moved to Wayne in 1968 where they would spend the rest of their lives together. Madeline, soon after becoming a mother, dedicated her life to her family and took on the full time position of a devoted homemaker. Although Madeline was extremely busy and devoted to her family, she was still able to balance her time and be extremely active at the Pequannock Reformed Church in Wayne. There she was a deacon, member of the church choir, member of the Evening Circle and Financial Secretary for over thirty years.
Madeline was an extraordinary person, very giving and thoughtful. She always remembered everyone’s birthday and would always send them a card or make their favorite desserts. She was a great cook and baker and she made a particularly wonderful date-nut bread. Madeline was not a big traveler (she hated to fly), but she and Jack did do a big trip to, and also a trans-Canada rail tour that they reminisced about often. She also spent many summers and falls in Bridgton, Maine every year over the past 60 years where she built countless long lasting friendships. Madeline was extremely blessed to live till the age of ninety-six and be of good health almost up until her passing. She was also healthy and sharp enough to drive her car well into her 80’s. Above all of Madeline’s interests and activities, her greatest love was for her family. She was an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many people. She will be sincerely missed by everyone who knew her.
It would be a dishonor not to mention her faithful caregiver, Marie Deaner. She was a big help to Madeline and her family over the past two years, and this is something that was greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten.
Madeline is survived by one son; Ken Moore and his wife Joanne of Pompton Plains, one daughter; Betty Pepper of Wayne, four grandchildren; Karen Grogan and her husband Scott of Wayne, Christine Heil and her husband Jeff of Randolph, Brian Moore and his wife Lisa of Palm Harbor, FL, and Michael Pepper of Wayne, four great grandchildren; Kayla Grogan of New York City, Melanie Grogan of Wayne, Julia and Jenna Heil both of Randolph. She was pre-deceased by her husband Norman Moore (2010) and her brother Camille Vogt (2007).
Donations in Madeline’s name may be made to Pequannock Reformed Church, 530 Newark Pompton Tpk, Wayne, NJ 07470.
