Madeline F. Mondello “Nan” (nee Russo) age 86 of Wayne on Monday, August 10, 2009 at the Saint Josephs Hospital in Wayne. Her peaceful passing took place with her loving son Jerry at her bedside.
She was born in Montclair and lived her formative years there receiving her formal education at Montclair Grammar Schools and Montclair High School graduating with the Class of 1940.
Madeline was employed at the Wayne Board of Education in Wayne as an Administrative Assistant in the Transportation Department. She then transferred to being a Secretary at the Lafayette School in Wayne where she worked for ten years until her retirement in 1994.
She met 'a' handsome gentleman at a family party where a family member introduced her to him. His name was Jerry Mondello and they soon became a couple. The family recalls many bus trips from West Paterson where Jerry lived to Montclair where Madeline Lived. They married in 1949 and had forty-six years of “devoted and loving” marriage together until Jerry’s sudden and unexpected passing on January 1, 1995.
Madeline had a very devoted family focus in her life and challenged herself to being a very strong, special and nurturing mother. The reason she worked was to provide the very finest for her two sons. One of her great accomplishments was her ability to send both of her sons to Notre Dame University where they received wonderful educations. Thank you mom for being so special in our lives.
For entertainment she enjoyed trips to the Atlantic City Casinos and was a special fan for the New York Yankees baseball team and the Notre Dame University football team.
Left to recall her wonderful motherly humanity are two sons Joseph P. Mondello and his wife Marla of Tampa, Florida and Jerry Mondello of Wayne. She is also survived by a sister Lorraine Herman and her husband Robert of Pennsylvania; also two brothers James Russo and his wife Pat of Whiting and Al Russo of Clifton.
Her sisters Diane Russo and Concheta Fiorentino predeceased her earlier.
She will be laid to rest with her late husband Jerry Mondello at the Christ the King Cemetery in Franklin Lakes.
