Margaret “Peggy” Giannetti, age 75 of Wayne passed peacefully at home on Tuesday, September 8, 2015.
She was born in Haledon and graduated from Central High School in Paterson with the Class of 1958. When she was just five years old her father passed away and the family moved from relatives home to relatives home for many of her formative years. When she was thirteen years old she repeatedly walked back and forth in front of the candy store in the Stony Road Section of Paterson with the hopes of catching a cute boy named Salvatore Giannetti’s eye. Salvatore did spy her and soon they had their first date. From the candy store to Garret Mountain their love spanned 60 years. Peggy loved Sal’s big Italian family. They soon fell in love and married on March 29, 1959 at the Wyckoff Reformed Church and honeymooned in Washington D.C. Soon after their marriage Peggy dedicated herself to changing her religious affiliation to become a Catholic. They later had another wedding in the Catholic tradition. After being married the young couple found an apartment in Paterson and lived in Haledon before moving to Wayne in 1963.
Peggy’s first job was as a punch card telephone operator for NJ Bell Telephone in Paterson. She saved every penny she could for their wedding and would buy china one piece at a time. Once married Peggy stopped working and dedicated herself to raising her two children Salvatore and Robert. Once the boys were old enough she would return to work as a Dietician at The Diet Center in Wayne and later worked in the jewelry industry to assist family and friends with their business in Paramus.
Peggy will best be remembered as a fun, bubbly, sweet person with a warm smile and brilliant blue eyes. She was a great story teller, loyal to her family, dedicated to her grandchildren, and was the kind of person you met once and considered her a friend. Her family has fond memories of family trips to Hilton Head, South Carolina and to destinations across the United States. For many years she was fortunate enough to travel all over the world with her husband Sal.
Peggy was the loving and dedicated wife of the late Salvatore Giannetti (2009); devoted mother of Salvatore Giannetti of Darien, CT, and Robert Giannetti of Pompton Plains; cherished grandmother of Lucas and Robert Edward Giannetti; loved sister of Vera Falconieri and her late husband Carmen of Totowa; much loved mother-in-law of Ines and Renee.
