Mary A. Kell (nee Misley) age 93, of Wayne passed away peacefully on Friday September 16, 2016 while receiving the loving care of her family.
Mary was born and raised in Keasbey, New Jersey until the age of about twelve, when her family moved to the city Clifton. She lived in Clifton and graduated from Clifton High School in 1941. Mary did her part for the war effort as did many young adult Americans did. Very soon after she graduated high school she applied for a job as a clerk with the United States Army Air Corps. She worked for the US Army Air Corps and Wright Aeronautical for several years during and after World War II. A short time after the war had ended she met a handsome young man by the name of George Kell Jr. Their very first date was as simple as sharing some ice cream together in Flemington, New Jersey. They enjoyed a very romantic courtship, their relationship blossomed, and at Christmas time in 1948 they were married. They settled in Wayne and raised their family. After George’s retirement from the State Police, they moved to Pennsylvania. It wasn’t until the year 2000 when they moved back to Wayne and bought back their original house they had lived in previously. George and Mary cherished 54 years of loving and loyal marriage until George’s passing in 2002.
Having gotten married, Mary decided that she would devote her life to her family and take on the noble task of being a homemaker. She cherished her husband and her children and always pampered them. Nothing in Mary’s life was more important to her than her family. She loved traveling with her family and was proud to say that she had visited all 50 states of the United States of America. She visited Hawaii three times as it was one of her favorite places on earth. She also traveled through Canada from west coast to East coast with her family. Mary also enjoyed travelling to Europe, Spain and Morocco. Mary was not only dedicated to her family but also to her faith. She was a long time parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne. She was very active in the church and was also a Eucharistic Minister. Mary instilled strong family values in her children and this also made her a great judge of character. Her relationship with her husband was a lovely example of “Marriage.” Mary was a member of the Pompton Lakes Women’s Club as well as the Eastern Star. Mary was extremely blessed to live to the age of 93, she lived a very fulfilling and wonderful life. She touched to lives of many people and she will be sincerely missed by everyone that knew her.
Mary is survived by two sons; Warren and his wife Karen of Oregon, and George III and his wife Patricia of South Carolina, one daughter MaryAnn Kell of South Carolina, four grandchildren; Christine of IL, Daniel of IL, Jessica of MD, and Madeline of MD, two great grandchildren; Madison and Kenzie of IL, two nieces; Cindy Briggs of Bloomindale and Betty Bowen of Highland Lakes, she was predeceased by her husband George Kell in 2002.
