Marie M. Garofalo, “ReRe” (nee D’Amato) age 74 of Wayne on Tuesday, December 28, 2010 at home. Her passing was quiet and peaceful at home after having made a two year courageous battle with lung cancer.
She was born in Newark, NJ and lived her formative years in Newark. Marie received her formal education first at Abington Grammar in Newark and then at Barringer High School in Newark where she graduated with the Class of 1954. She then went on to study textile dress design at the Essex County Vocational School. Marie later lived in Jackson, Springfield, and Wayne, New Jersey and then had retired to Arizona.
Marie was gifted with a quiet and reserved personality that was totally dedicated to her family. Her children recall with warmth the many ways she showed love and caring as a mother. No matter how many birthdays they had she was still Mom and showed deep concern for their well being. Holidays were always special and her wonderful cooking made them even more enjoyable. Her best recipe, for everyone to enjoy, was her cheese cake or any number of Italian dishes and her homemade sauce and meatballs.
Besides being a skilled seamstress and dressmaker she also worked as a Real Estate agent. She later became interested in quilting and made beautiful quilts for her family and friends.
Thanks Mom for being so special in our lives.
Surviving to mourn her loss are two daughters Lisa Smith of Mesa, Arizona and Linda French of Wayne; one brother Michael D’Amato and his wife Lucille of Roseland; and two grandchildren Ben and Kevin French.
