Mary Zangrilli (nee Mohlenpah) age 82 of Pompton Plains passed Wednesday, September 25, 2013 tragically in a car accident.

She was born and raised in Paterson having graduated from Eastside High School in Paterson with the Class of 1948. She married John P. Zangrilli at the age of eighteen and they lived in Passaic before moving to Pompton Plains over fifty-five years ago.

Mary’s first job was as a Switchboard Operator for NJ Bell Telephone for several years and later enjoyed a sales position at the Sporting Life store on Route 23 in Pompton Plains. She also worked as a bookkeeper for AJM Construction in Passaic and as a Hostess for the French Hill Inn in Wayne.

She enjoyed tennis, and was the second baseman for the Colfax Cuties softball team who had an undefeated season during the 1970’s. Most of all Mary was the life of the party. Her special spark and love of life could light up a room. She loved the friends she made at the Pompton Plains Senior Center where she did aerobics three days a week. Family gatherings, bus trips, UNICO, and Red Hats gatherings were also where Mary’s personality would shine. She was truly a people person who delighted in the accomplishments of her children and grandchildren, kept her home meticulous, was super organized, decorated for all holidays, and loved her Golden Retriever - Sammy Dog, and her daughters Shih Tzu Rory Jane Macci.

Mary was the loving wife of fifty-six years to the late John P. Zangrilli (2005); devoted mother of Steven Zangrilli and his wife Judy of Hamburg, Suzanne Macci and her husband Tony of Wayne, Todd Zangrilli and his wife Luanne, and the late Scott Zangrilli (1993); dear sister of the late June Motta (2007); cherished grandmother of Justine and Jordan Macci, Michael, Scott, Toni, and Jonathan Zangrilli, Amanda Davis and Doug Mathers.
