Mary P. Arata (nee Pinella) age 97 of Wayne died Thursday, March 27, 2008 at the Christian Health Care Center in Wyckoff. Her passing was quiet and peaceful.
She was born in Passaic where she had lived her formative years attending Passaic Grammar School. Mary later lived in Rutherford for sixty years before moving to Wayne two years ago.
Mary was a beautician and had her own beauty parlor for sixty plus years at several locations in both Passaic and Clifton.
She was a very active life member of the First Baptist Church of Passaic.
She leaves her family with many fond memories of a very devoted and loving wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Her priorities included God first then a very special devotion to family. Her hobbies included her home and wonderful cooking to share with her family.
Mary had a strong faith and used the Bible as her roadmap for life and beyond. Her personality was that of a selfless extravert causing her to be very sociable and well liked by many people. She was always doing things for others who were in need.
John and Mary Arata were married for sixty years in a very devoted and loving marriage together until John’s passing in December 1990.
Surviving are one son John W. Arata and his wife Nancy of Marblehead, MA; one daughter Marian Gascoyne and her husband Robert of Wayne; four grandchildren and their spouses Donna Wilson and her husband F. James, Keri Harrod and her husband James, Nathaniel Arata and his wife Kelly and Alexander Arata and his wife Melissa; four great grandchildren Alexandra and Abigail Wilson, Julia and Braedon Harrod.
