MARY MATILDA RONAYNE, age 78 of Wanaque, New Jersey, slipped into the arms of our heavenly Father on Wednesday, November 8, 2023. She was at home with the family she dearly loved as she drew her last breath. God blessed her to bless others. Born on January 29, 1945, Mary was the eldest child of Gerald and Matilda Hulton of Nutley, New Jersey.

Mary was a graduate of Marylawn of the Oranges High School in 1962. She then went on to St. Mary's School of Nursing where she graduated in 1965. She worked at Berverly Hills Doctors Hospital in California, St. Mary's Hospital Passaic, NJ and Clara Maass Medical Center in Belleville, NJ as a ICU/CICU nurse. Mary then went on to become a school nurse at Immaculate Conception School in Montclair, New Jersey.

Mary is survived by her 2 sisters, Jane Vecciarelli (John) and Patricia Petry. In 1970, Mary Hulton married Michael Ronayne at Saint Mary’s Church in Nutley, New Jersey. They raised 4 children together, Mary Beth Kopacz (Henry), Michael Ronayne (Nicole), Laura Healy (Kevin) and Sarah Molnoski (Brian). Mary was blessed with 7 grandchildren that she loved dearly, Lillian Kopacz (16), Katie Molnoski (16), Grace Healy (14), Sheila Healy (11), Brian Molnoski (10), Hudson Ronayne (9), Evelyn Ronayne (4).

The family respectfully requests that, in lieu of flowers, a tax-deductible tribute donation be made in Mary's honor to St Jude Children's Research Hospital
