Marleine A. Kowal (nee Patrick) age 47 of Pompton Lakes on Sunday, February 8, 2009 at the Morristown Memorial Hospital. Her passing took place receiving the wonderful and loving care of her family and the staff of the Hospice Care of Morristown Memorial Hospital after a brief illness.
She was a loving and devoted wife, mother and daughter. She was a loyal friend and a dedicated teacher. She put so much into her short life. Growing up in Packanack Lake she became active in the Campus Life program and in community service. As a teen-ager she traveled to South America as a “Missionary for the Lord” to build a church in a remote village.
After graduating from Wayne Valley High School she attended Nyack Bible College for a year and then went on to Montclair State University where she was studying history and psychology. She did drug and alcohol counseling for a state resource center part time, managed a restaurant and then got married. She worked hard continuing to educate herself and graduated from Thomas Edison College in 1995 receiving a BA in History, Psychology and Social Studies. After teaching at Don Bosco Tech for three years she began teaching History and Psychology at Mahwah High School where she has been for over eight years. She received recognition for two courses she wrote that were accepted for the Mahwah High School curriculum. One was Holocaust Studies and other was “The Effect of War on American Society”. She obtained her Master’s degree Magna Cum Laude from the University of Missouri and was awarded a certificate for her excellence in her studies. She has been working on her doctorate for the past two years.
Never one to be inactive, she has been the junior class advisor, the bowling coach, assistant tennis coach and the girls softball coach. She was the building representative for the Teachers Union. She was also active in Pompton Lakes political circles and ran for mayoral nomination in 2003.
Known to everyone as a good and kind person and a good friend in time of trouble, she was also a fun person always ready to laugh. She enjoyed fishing with her husband and her boys and of course enjoyed the sports the boys were always involved in and the games they loved to play.
She will be sorely missed by her loving husband, Tad, her two sons, T.J. and Danny, her mother and father, Marleine and Joseph Carnogursky of Boonton Township, her brother Frank Aiello and his wife Vivian of Naples, FL, her brother William Aiello of Packanack Lake, her step-sister, Noelle Galluzzi and husband Gary of Boonton Township, her brother-in law Ed Kowal and wife Leta of West Virginia. She also leaves seven nieces and nephews and numerous cousins and aunts and uncles.
She was predeceased by her brother Mark Aiello and her step-brother Michael Carnogursky.
