Mary Flaccavento (nee Reo) age 88 of Geneva, Illinois, on Monday, October 26, 2009, at the home of her daughter. Her passing was quiet and peaceful to a new heavenly home.
She was born in Englewood, New Jersey, and spent her youth in West New York where she received her formal education at Memorial High School, graduating with the class of 1939.
She met a handsome fellow in high school by the name of Frank Flaccavento and they fell in love and married in 1941.
Frank and Mary lived in North Bergen, later in Teaneck then Maywood until 1984. They then moved to Whiting at Crestwood Village, later moving to Siena Village in Wayne in 2003 and finally to Geneva, Illinois, in 2006 to live with her daughter Maryann.
For 25 years, Mary was the secretary at the Our Town Newspaper in Maywood, a position she thoroughly enjoyed. It was a job that provided her the opportunity to meet many people and to know what was going on in town. She was well-known in the community during the time she worked at the newspaper. She retired from work in 1984.
Mary had many talents as a homemaker, seamstress, cook, and hostess. She loved to entertain family and friends in her beautiful home. She also had a green thumb and was a member of the Crestwood Garden Club.
She and Frank took many vacations to Europe, the Far East, and all of the states, but their favorite destination was Italy. She was a beautiful and special woman who will be greatly missed.
Surviving is her loving husband of sixty-eight years Frank Flaccavento; two daughters Denise Feldman and her husband William of Wayne and Maryann Snook and her husband Alfred of Geneva, Illinois; eight grandchildren, Jennifer and Douglas Offutt of Batavia, IL; Douglas and Kris Snook of Libertyville, IL; Greg and Denise Snook of Sammamish, WA; Melissa and Phillip Izenson of Dublin, OH; Paul and Elizabeth Feldman of New York City; Daniel and Chrissy Flaccavento of San Diego, CA, and Jamey and Molly Flaccavento of Wayne, NJ; and ten great grandchildren.
Sadness struck her life when in 2002 her son Frank Flaccavento died.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Alzheimer's Association, 400 Morris Avenue, Suite 251, Denville, NJ 07834, or a charity of your own choosing, would be greatly appreciated.
