Mary Plucinsky Sklarski, age 91 of Garfield died on March 28, 2009 at the St. Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne. She was born in Passaic and lived most of her life in Garfield.
During World War II she was employed with Curtis Wright, helping the war effort as many women did at the time. They were affectionately known as “Rosie the riveter”. She later worked for Presto Lock and then Permanent Label in Clifton until retiring in 1983.
She stayed very active in her retirement, especially playing Bingo at all of the local churches. Her greatest love of all was her family. She was the glue that held them all together, whether at a family BBQ or a big holiday dinner with all the family present. Mary was especially proud of her granddaughter Serena who just recently blessed Mary with a great-granddaughter named Elizabeth.
Mary is also survived by her daughter; Maryann Piazza and her husband Salvatore of Lodi, as well as many nieces, nephews, and extended family. Mary was predeceased by her husband John in 1992 and her son John T. in 2006.
The family would appreciate Mass Cards be offered in Mary’s name.
