Maria Sautner (nee Mahile) age 90 of Wallington died Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at the Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne. Her passing was quiet and peaceful while receiving the loving care of her family who where at her bedside.
She was born in Vertes Bagla, Hungary and due to the stress of War in her home town the family moved to West Germany where they spent nine years as refugees before immigrating to America in June of 1955 first settling in Clifton. The family later lived in Passaic before moving to Wallington fifty-seven years ago.
Life was very difficult during the War and at the end of the fighting Russians came from one side and Germans from another and the local folks were divided according to the language they spoke. The Neukum family ended up seeking refuge in West German for nine years before they could finally get entry into the United States. Their interest in immigrating was influenced by they oldest daughter Elizabeth who married an American Soldier who took her back to the States.
Her first husband Martin Neukum who she was married to for thirty-seven years died in January of 1974.
Surviving are her second husband Gottfried Sautner; loving mother of three daughters Elizabeth Porter of North Carolina, Mary Ilcyn and her husband Michael of Sarasota, Florida, Anna Stadler and her husband Sebastian of Wayne; two sons John Neukum and his wife Patricia of Wayne and Otto Neukum of Wallington; surviving son in law George Kiraly and daughter in law Johanna Neukum; nineteen grandchildren, thirty-eight great grandchildren and two great great grandchildren.
