Minna Vogt (nee Röwfsaat), age 86 of Wayne, passed away on Friday, October 16, 2015.
Minna was born in Delmonhorst, Germany, and enjoyed her childhood in that region. Of course, growing up in Germany during World War II wasn’t without its challenges. While working as a maid at the Hotel Backenkohler in Ganderkesee, Germany she met Joseph, who was working at a nearby farm. After the War, Minna was able to immigrate to the United States where she met up with her fiancé; Joseph Vogt. Joe had come to the U.S. in 1952 to get established, and Minna joined him here in 1954. They married at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Paterson on April 24, 1954. They had one daughter; Waltraud. They lived in Paterson for a few years before moving to Wayne in the 1960’s. Minna enjoyed her home in Wayne, where she liked to tend her garden of flowers and vegetables. She was always there for her grandchildren over the years and loved them very much. They were a quiet couple, enjoyed sitting in the backyard and talking to neighbors. She would always want everyone watch German Music videos and join her for her daily afternoon coffee and cake. They enjoyed fifty six years of marriage before Joe passed in 2010.
Minna is survived by her daughter; Waltraud “Wally” Petteway of Little Ferry, NJ, three grandchildren; Lesley Fencik and her husband Joel of Moonachie, NJ, Scott Petteway of Little Ferry, NJ and Marc Petteway and his wife Stephanie of Pensacola, FL, four great grandchildren; Aaron and Emily Fencik of Moonachie, Adriana and Angelina Petteway of Pensacola, FL, and two brothers; Gerold “Jerry” Röwfsaat and his wife Christa of Florida, and Arthur Röwfsaat and his wife Margot of Germany.
