Margaret “Peggy” Spazante (nee Melissant) age 80 of Wayne passed away on Saturday, March 28, 2009 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains. Her passing was quiet and peaceful with her loving family at her bedside.
She was born in Paterson spending her formative years in Paterson where she attended Eastside High School before moving to Wayne fifty- four years ago.
Peggy grew up during the depression years and she had to leave school early to help support her family. Her first job was in sales at a Woolworth Five and Ten Cent Store in Paterson. She later worked for New Jersey Bell Telephone Company as a Switchboard Operator for many years and then became the Switchboard Operator at the Wayne Township Municipal building where she worked for many years before retiring in 1994.
She was a past member of the Order of The Eastern Star Chapter in Paterson.
She leaves her family with many fond and warm memories of a very caring and loving Mother and Grandmother. She was totally dedicated to her family and took great pride in Mom’s Taxi service to take her children to their activities and games at the Wayne PAL, Little League games and may other important activities in their lives. Mom loved her family gathered around her and being a talented cook, she was not above expressing herself with their culinary enjoyment in mind. Thanks Mom for being so special in our lives.
Surviving are three sons Robert “Bob” Spazante and his wife Janice of Boynton Beach, Florida, William Spazante and his wife Kristin Zoller of Pacific Grove, California and John Spazante and his wife Patty of Wayne; one sister Muriel Connell and her husband Gerald of Essex Fells and Naples, Florida; four grandchildren Jennifer Gleason and her husband Michael, Jaclyn, Stephen and Emily Spazante.
