Marie Angelina Bluteau (nee Saso) age 78 of Lincoln Park on Sunday, May 24, 2009 at the home of her daughter in Wayne. She endured a courageous battle with cancer and did everything possible to avoid burdening her family with her illness. She was hospitalized for one week, then came home on May 1st to the care of her family. She was lovingly attended to by her family in her final days. Her passing was quiet and peaceful while she received that special love.

She was born in New York City and had lived her formative years in Middle Village, Queens, NY where she received her formal education at Newtown High School and later graduated from Rhodes Academy. Marie married Robert Bluteau, and together they had Edward, Thomas, and Jeanne, raising their family in Queens until moving to New Jersey in 1970.

She and her family lived in Lake Tamarack (near Stockholm), then in Pequannock. Marie had been living in Lincoln Park for the past twenty-five years. During those years, she went on to become the General Manager of North Jersey Country Club for several years until retiring in 1997. Since then, she has devoted her time and love to her family. She was blessed with an unselfish and loving personality that suited her well to be Grandma. She had a gift for making her grandchildren laugh. Her special devotion to her grandson Andrew Mazza, who is afflicted with Angelman Syndrome, will always be remembered as a shining example of her unconditionally loving nature. His well-being meant so much to her, and it gave her joy to help her daughter provide such extraordinary care to Andrew.

Marie was a beautiful woman, a good friend to many, and an irreplaceable gift to her family. She will be remembered for her warmth, her kindness, her amazing cooking, her generous and playful spirit, her integrity, and the inspiring courage and strength she so gracefully revealed to us in her final days. Thanks Mom for being so special in our lives.

Surviving her are one daughter Jeanne Mazza and her husband Matthew of Wayne; one son Thomas Bluteau and his wife Heidi of Pompton Plains; her husband Bob Bluteau ; six grandchildren Maureen Ezekwugo and her husband John, Lisa Bluteau, John Bluteau and his wife Corinne, Lise Bluteau, Andrew and Victoria Mazza; three great-grandchildren John, Noah, and Madelyn.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Marie’s memory are asked to consider: The Angelman Syndrome Foundation, 4255 Westbrook Drive, Suite 219, Aurora, Illinois 60504.
