Mary Caruso (nee Czyzyk) age 93 of Ledgewood died on Thursday, September 9, 2010 at the Saint Clare’s Hospice in Dover. Her passing took place peacefully after receiving the loving care of her family who were constantly at her bedside.
She was born in the Scranton area of Pennsylvania, in the Village of Minooka, where she spent her early years. She received her formal education at the Polish Catholic Grammar School in Minooka.
Her first job was at a garment factory where she was skilled at sewing pockets onto trousers. In those days of economic turmoil everyone had to work to help support the family, and she did her part.
Mary lived in Minooka, which was a country town, and often found herself walking to stores and running errands. It was on one of those sojourns that she met a handsome fellow by the name of Louis Caruso. After a courtship, they married in 1935. As a couple they moved to the Village of Dunmore, which was adjacent to Scranton, Pennsylvania. Mary and Louis were married for fifty-six years in a lovingly dedicated marriage until Louis’s passing in November 1991.
Mary was graced with a quiet, family-dedicated, personality that included a good sense of humor. She enjoyed having her family gathered around her and used her wonderful culinary skills to call her family to her home, especially on Holidays. Her family fondly remembers her wonderful Italian Chocolate cookies.
She was devoted to her Catholic faith and was a long time parishioner of Saint Therese’s RC Church in Succasunna, NJ.
Surviving to treasure wonderful memories of a very loving and dedicated mother are two daughters; Mary Ann Gibney and her husband George of Wayne and Madeline Cittadino and her husband John of Randolph. Six grandchildren including Susan Dipre and her husband Frank, Joseph Gibney, Georgene O’Loughlin and her husband Anthony, Lisa Bostedo and her husband David, Linda Wisniewski and her husband Frank, Marybeth Estok and her husband Joe; six great grandchildren; Caroline, Alexandra, Luke, Niamh, Liam and Michael.
Great sadness touched her life journey when her daughter Bessie Byrouty died in August 2009.
Mary will be laid to rest with her late husband Louis at the Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Totowa.
