Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Brugaletta, age 79, of Oak Ridge, passed peacefully at home, surrounded by her family, on Sunday, March 12, 2017
She was born in Paterson and raised at 9-11 Thomas Street in the city. This was a six family home that was owned by her grandfather at the time. Betty graduated from Central High School in Paterson with the Class of 1955. Just out of high school she worked for the Garden State Credit Bureau in Clifton. In just a few years she met and married John Brugaletta on July 12, 1958 at Saint George’s Church in Paterson and honeymooned at the Jersey Shore. John and Betty enjoyed a wonderful fifty-nine years together with many fond memories of family summers at Chadwick Beach. Betty will be remembered for being the life of the party, strong willed, funny, generous, and considerate. She loved to go shopping with her sisters, spoiled her children and grandchildren at Christmas time with tons of gifts, and even had presents for the mailman, UPS delivery man, and just about anyone whose life she touched.
She was the loving wife of John Brugaletta; beloved mother of Doreen Watson and her husband Tom of Vernon, John Brugaletta, Jr and his significant other Sue McGurr of Haskell, and Kathy McCormick and her husband Kevin of Highland Lakes; cherished grandmother of Deena and Alyse Watson, Janell, Krysten, and Heather Brugaletta, Connor and Braydon McCormick; she was the loved sister of Arlene Loreng and her husband Walter of Kinnelon, and Dolores Salvati of Kinnelon.
