Nancy Marie Cavallo (nee Clarken), age 50 of Wayne, died suddenly on Thursday, June 19, 2014.
Born in Paterson and raised in Totowa, Nancy graduated from DePaul Catholic High School with the class of 1981. She earned a degree in criminal justice and enjoyed a long career in public safety. Among her early jobs, she served as a Marshall for the Totowa Police Department. She was trained as an EMT in 1983 and served as an EMT with the Totowa First Aid Squad and the Paterson Fire Department for several years before leaving to raise her children. She later worked as the Practice Administrator for High Mountain Health before joining the Hawthorne Police Department as a police dispatcher in 2005.
While working for the Totowa Police Department, she met a young West Paterson Police Officer named Donald Cavallo. They’re romance blossomed and a wedding was planned for June 15, 1986 at St. Gerard’s RC Church, Paterson. They’re honeymoon to Hawaii followed and for their fifteenth wedding anniversary they brought their whole family back to Hawaii to celebrate again! Over the years, she loved to travel with her family all around the US including several trips to Disney World and numerous beach resorts. She was a huge Disney fan and loved wearing her “Grumpy” sweatshirt. She also enjoyed escaping to their home in Little Egg Harbor where she could truly relax. Of course, a visit to play the slots in Atlantic City was never out of the question either.
Nancy was devoted to her family. She was an “amazing mom” to her two children. She was a Scout leader for many years, helping her daughter Megan earn the Bronze Award, family camping with the cub scouts and providing support for Matthew on his quest for Eagle Scout. She also spent countless days at Hidden Valley, Campgaw, and other ski areas skiing with the family. School, sports, church, scouts, she was always there for them.
Nancy is survived by her beloved husband Donald, her two children; Megan and Matthew of Wayne, her dear mother; Nancy Clarken of Totowa, her sister Lisa Monteyne and her husband Donald, nephews Andrew and Ryan of Wayne, her sister-in-law; Jane DeSantis and her husband Larry, niece Lauren and nephew Nicholas of Hackettstown, her mother and father-in-law; Anne and Albert Cavallo of West Paterson, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.
