Marilyn Klepacki

Marilyn F. Klepacki, age 89, of Wayne died on Saturday, May 2, 2020. Her two children were lovingly gathered by her side at the time of her peaceful passing.  

Marilyn was born and raised in Paterson, NJ.  She was the only child of Thomas and Mary Meneely. She graduated from St. John Cathedral High School in 1948.

Marilyn met and married the love of her life, Walter Klepacki and went on to have two children Thomas and Mary.

Marilyn dedicated her life to being a wonderful wife, mother, and grandmother. Her husband, children, and grandchildren were the center of Marilyn’s world. Marilyn’s happiest days were those surrounded by her family and friends.

Marilyn spent her entire adult life loving and supporting her loved ones. Marilyn was the type of mother and grandmother that loved to spoil you on every sort of occasion. Her grandchild can tell you best how truly spoiled they were by her. Marilyn loved her five grandchildren that she called her “angels” more than words can do justice to. She filled us all with her warmth and kindness.

Marilyn was predeceased by her husband, Walter Klepacki in 1977. Marilyn is survived by her two children: Thomas Klepacki and his wife Marcella of Pequannock, NJ, and Mary Moran and her husband Dan of Wayne, NJ; five grandchildren: Emily Klepacki, Gregory Klepacki, Daniel Moran, Thomas Moran, and Katherine Moran, along with many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Our family wishes to express our warmest gratitude for all the kind thoughts and prayers extended to us during this time. Marilyn’s presences will be missed dearly. We take comfort in knowing that she was so loved by so many.

In lieu of flowers, please just share with us some of your favorite memories of Marilyn, because we know how much she loved to tell stories and share some of her favorite memories with us.
