Margaret “Marge” Seifried (nee Grant), 87 of Wayne, died peacefully on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2017. Marge lived in Wayne since 1957. She was a forty-year employee of A&P grocery and retired just a few years ago when the A&P market closed on Valley Rd. in Wayne.
Marge was raised in the Fort Hamilton section of Brooklyn, NY and lived there before moving to Wayne in 1957. As a young woman living in Brooklyn, her girlfriend introduced her to a handsome NYPD officer named Eugene Seifried. Marge was, at that time, engaged to be married, but she quickly broke it off when she met Eugene and the two of them fell in love. They were soon married and first lived in Brooklyn before deciding to move out to “the country,” settling in Wayne. Marge was very proud of her house and with her husband Eugene, they created a warm and loving home where friends and family were always welcome, and her trademark laughter was frequently heard. Marge’s neighbors would tell you that she loved to decorate for the holidays – all of them! At any time of year you would know what holiday was approaching simply by looking at her home; Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and today it remains decorated for Valentine’s Day. When you consider the size of her large, loving heart, it comes as no surprise that she passed on Valentine’s Day.
Marge’s faith was unquestionably her foundation, and her devotion to the Lord was self-evident. She was a fixture at her parish home; Our Lady of Consolation Church in Wayne. A Eucharistic Minister and member of the Rosary Society, she prayed daily and attended Mass each and every day. She prayed for countless people over the years, many of them complete strangers. During the past three years, her faith was tested but only grew stronger as she endured the loss of her daughter Mary Ellen, her son Eugene, Jr., and her grandson Alex. Her family and friends find consolation knowing that she’s reunited with her loved ones today, rejoicing together in the splendor of God’s Kingdom.
Marge is survived by her loving sons; Charles and his wife Verica of Pompton Plains, and Stephen and his wife Joyce of Wayne, four grandchildren; Natasha Seifried of Pompton Plains, Stephen J. and Kasey Seifried of Wayne, and Michael Catalonello of Morris Plains. She was predeceased by her husband Eugene, Sr. (1994), by three children; Richard (1967), Mary Ellen Otte (2013), Eugene, Jr. (2016), and by her grandson Alexander (2016).
Marge’s second home was her beloved church; Our Lady of Consolation, and it is her desire that memorial donations in her honor go to the church; Our Lady of Consolation RC Church, 1799 Hamburg Turnpike, Wayne, NJ 07470.
