Nancy Johnson, age 60 of Pompton Lakes, died peacefully in the comfort of her home after a long illness, on Wednesday, August 13, 2014.
Born and raised in Paterson, she graduated from Eastside High School and, starting at age 18, went to work at St. Joseph’s Hospital, Paterson as an EKG technician. During her 42-year career, Nancy ascended to the title of systems assistant and the hospital became known as St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center. She enjoyed her work and was loved and respected by her colleagues.
Nancy met her husband Art Johnson while they were both attending Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church in Paterson. Art had experienced the grief of loss as his first wife Carolyn passed away in 1985. Nancy and Art sang in the church’s choir together and their friendship grew to love as they enjoyed making music and also being teammates in the St. Joseph’s Hospital bowling league, competing with other co-ed teams at the Bowl-A-Mat in Paterson and later at the Fair Lawn Brunswick Lanes. They decided to marry and they pledged their love in a marriage ceremony that took place at Peoples Park Reformed Church in Paterson in September, 2003. After the wedding they lived in Pompton Lakes where they’ve remained to this present time.
In addition to making a joyful noise in the choir and competing in her workplace’s bowling league, Nancy enjoyed taking peaceful walks in the great outdoors and spending time reading a book or watching television with one of her two cats, Chloe or Sunshine, snuggled up on her lap. She and Art loved going to breakfast at the Cardinal Café in Pompton Lakes and going for dinner at the Pompton Queen Diner in Pompton Plains and also getting away to test their luck at the Mount Airy Casino in the Poconos or at one of the casinos in Atlantic City.
Nancy was loving and funny, always giving with her compassionate heart to be helpful to those that crossed her life’s path.
Nancy is survived by her beloved husband Arthur, her father Matthew Carol of Riverdale, her three step-children: Gail Mania and husband Michael of Wayne, Susan Volt and husband Arthur of Halifax, MA, and Arthur Johnson and wife Diana of Long Valley, NJ; Seven step-grandchildren: Corey, Kelsie, Caroline, Hannah, Thomas, Samantha, and Sean; and her brother Edward Carol and wife Cathy of Mooresville, NC.
