Mary Ellen Tooman, age 55 of Pompton Lakes, NJ, died on Sunday, April 29, 2012.

Born in Jersey City, Mary grew up in Leonia and graduated from Leonia High School with the class of 1975. She went on to receive her Bachelor’s Degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University and her Master’s Degree from Penn State University.

Mary was Director, Materials Management for Total Health Rewards, and had also worked for Medsite, Total Health Products, J&J Medical Service and Prentice Hall.

Mary was very active with the Pequannock River Coalition and had won a few awards for her participation and accomplishments with regard to protecting the Highlands Watershed of New Jersey. She was also supportive of the Kennebec Land Trust in Maine. Since she was young, her family has enjoyed a cabin in Maine and this was one of her favorite places to visit. She enjoyed fishing and would take her boat out on the lake to cast her line. She was also an avid photographer and many of her photos of landscapes and nature were taken in Maine. Mary was also a self described "passable accordianist".

Mary was devoted to her family and especially so to her mother, Kathleen Tooman. Mary is survived by her beloved mom, Kathleen Tooman of Pompton Lakes, two brothers; Chris Tooman and his wife Lisa of Wayne, and John Patrick Tooman of Sag Harbor, NY, and three nephews; Conor Patrick Tooman, John Kyle Tooman, and Scott Christopher Tooman, all of Wayne.

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to the Pequannock River Coalition, P.O. Box 392 Newfoundland, New Jersey 07435 or to the Kennebec Land Trust, PO Box 261 Winthrop, ME 04364 would be greatly appreciated.
