Marian L. Grant (nee Dunleavy), age 95 of Wayne died peacefully on Sunday, January 22, 2012 at the Atrium of Wayne.

Marian was raised in Clifton and Nutley, and she graduated from Passaic High School with the class of 1934. She worked as a bookkeeper for Dunn & Bradstreet during her early career.

She met Robert Grant at a party on one occasion and a romance blossomed. They married on September 7, 1940 at St. Nicholas Church in Passaic and enjoyed a honeymoon in Washington, D.C. They settled in Rochelle Park and later moved to Clifton. She dedicated herself to her family, raising three children. She was a very caring mother, always encouraged her children and motivating them to improve their talents. She taught them that they could do anything they put their minds to. She was never judgmental and was the best mom they could have asked for. She was especially proud of her eight grandchildren and was very happy to have been blessed with two great-grandchildren.

Marian was a caring and generous friend to many. She was very outgoing and had a witty sense of humor all her own.

She moved to Wayne in 1989, the year after her husband Robert passed away.

Marian is survived by her three loving children: Barbara Laucius and her husband Wayne of Mt. Bethel, Pennsylvania, William Grant and his wife Joan of Wayne, and Marianne Nececkas and her husband Thomas of Wayne, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Robert in 1988 and her five siblings; Rose Woodruff, John Dunleavy, Anna Marone, William Dunleavy, and Daniel Dunleavy.
