Patricia "Patty" Cianci (nee Diess) age 74 passed into life eternal in Wayne on Saturday, June 19, 2010. Her passing was wonderfully tranquil to a new day in the presence of her Lord and Savior.

Her passing took place after a steady decline in her health for a long period of time. She now has no pain or anxiety to deal with but only a wonderful aura of her heavenly presence.

She was born in Montclair and spent her formative years in Cedar Grove. Her formal education took place at Cedar Grove Grammar School and then at Bloomfield High School where she graduated with the Class of 1954. She later lived in Mount Pocono and Whiting before moving recently to Wayne.

Patty met a handsome fellow by the name of Philip Cianci through and introduction by his sister Catherine. They soon married and had fifty-one years of loving marriage together until Phil's passing in October of 2006.

They raised two sons together namely Bill and Phil Cianci and now that they have passed they leave their family with a wonderful legacy of memories of very special parents that nurtured them well into adulthood.

Patty's heritage was both English and Italian with her Mother's family originating in England and her Father's in Italy. Looking in the rear view mirror of life both of her grandparents came here to live the wonderful dreams of freedom which was not available in Europe. It was because of their sacrifices and courage that Patty and her children can live the "American Dream".

Surviving to mourn this wonderful lady are her two sons Bill Cianci and his wife Michele of Wayne and Phil Cianci and his wife Mary Lou of Winston Salem, North Carolina along with five grandchildren. Also surviving are two Brothers, Louis Diess and his wife Dorothy and Terry Diess and his wife Barbara.

Patricia will be laid to rest at the Brigadier General William C. Doyle Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Wrightstown, NJ with her late husband Philip Cianci.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Patricia Cianci’s memory are asked to consider the American Cancer Society, 20 Mercer Street, Hackensack, NJ 07601.
