Patricia A. Reuther (nee Hagar), age 67 of Wayne, died on Thursday, February 23, 2012.

Pat was born in Nyack, New York and grew up in Clifton. She graduated from Clifton High School with the class of 1962.

Pat moved to Wayne in 1970 where she raised her daughter Paige. She had a great sense of humor and was very socially active. She was blessed with a lot of friends and loved to entertain in her home. Cooking was her specialty. Her veal parmesan was terrific and her apple pie was legendary.

After working for the Wayne Board of Education as an administrative assistant for nearly twenty years, she retired in 2006 when her first granddaughter was born.  Her grandchildren were the light of her life. She loved them dearly and enjoyed spending as much time with them as possible.

She was a devoted parishioner of Our Lady of Consolation RC Church in Wayne. She looked forward to attending Mass with her girlfriends, and then going out to dinner afterward. Pat was also an animal lover and had several dogs and cats over the years. She volunteered on occasion with the Friends of Wayne Animals (FOWA) and found it very rewarding.

Pat took great pride in her appearance and her home. She often changed her hair style and was never caught without lipstick. She was a very independent person who did much of her own home improvement, including hanging wallpaper, decorating, and even changing out her light fixtures.

Pat is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Paige and Thomas Labadie, of Chatham, NJ, her two grandchildren; Alyssa and Harley of Chatham, and her sister Paulette Bown of St. Petersburg, FL. She was predeceased by her parents Kurt and Marjorie Hagar of Clifton.

Donations in Pat’s memory to the Friends of Wayne Animals (FOWA), PO Box 3701, Wayne, NJ 07474-3701 would be greatly appreciated.
