Nancy M. Jelleme age 68 of Pequannock passed Sunday, April 12, 2015.
She was born in Paterson and lived in Clifton before moving to Wayne to graduate from Wayne High School with the Class of 1964. After high school she attended the Berkley Secretarial School in Paterson. After her education she worked as a secretary for the Mac Boroughs Company in Lincoln Park and later as a legal secretary for Michael Renda, Esq. in Hawthorne. She left the workforce and dedicated herself to raising her family. After her children were older she again found work as a legal secretary for Robert Altshuler, Esq., in Wayne, where she worked before retiring in 2004 because of health concerns.
Nancy will be lovingly remembered for being a very giving person. She had the curse of not being able to say “no” when asked to do just about anything. She was a volunteer at her children’s schools as Classroom Mom, on the PTA, and serving with the Band Parents. She was a volunteer for the Wayne Republican Club and also served on the County Committee. She will also be remembered for opening her doors to all on holidays and special occasions. Friends, aunts, uncles, cousins, and even friends of the extended family, were always made to feel welcome at her home.
She was raised in the Lutheran church since she was a little girl. As a young lady she played the organ at Saint Pauls Lutheran Church in Paterson. And was currently a devout member of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Pompton Plains and also served on the church council for many years.
Nancy met her husband to be Tom many years ago as Tom was good friends with Nancy’s brother Don. Their first date was to Patricia Murphy’s Steak House, they soon fell in love and were married on September 14, 1968 at Saint Timothy Lutheran Church in Wayne by Msgr. James Rugel and Pastor Gordon Odmark. After a reception at The Holster they honeymooned in Bermuda. Nancy and Tom have had forty-seven years of devoted marriage.
Nancy was the loving wife of Thomas Jelleme; devoted mother of Meredith Panik and her husband Jonathan of Bernardsville, and David Jelleme and his wife Sharon of Metuchen; cherished grandmother of Audrey Panik, Emily Jelleme, Reagan Panik, Mathew Jelleme, and Jack Panik.
