Pauline Bruno(nee Yarmchuk) age 93 of Wall Twp., formerly of Garfield, on Wednesday, June 10, 2009.
She was born in Piney Fork, Ohio where she lived on a farm before her family moved to Paterson. She grew up in Paterson having met her husband to be, Benjamin Bruno, at a dance at the Polish Peoples Home on Monroe Street in Passaic. They married on June 12, 1938 at SS Peter & Paul RO Church, Passaic. They honeymooned in Niagara Falls, NY and moved to Garfield to raise their family. They enjoyed sixty-five years of a devoted, loving and caring marriage.
She had exceptional seamstress skills which led her to a career with the Barbizon Lingerie store in Paterson and working for the Bernie Sportswear Company, Inc, Garfield. She later purchased the Bernie Sportswear Company's factory which she ran on her own for 21 years before reluctantly retiring in 1981.
Pauline will be remembered as being generous to a fault. She would carry large sums of money in her purse, forget her purse all over the place, lend anyone money and couldn’t remember a single time money was taken from her forgotten purse or a person who didn’t repay her. She will also be remembered for her strong work ethic. Her grandchildren nicknamed her the “bionic woman”. She couldn’t sit still. She would make family dinners, always doing this, doing that and would never sit down herself.
One of the most wonderful highlights in her life journey was the arrival of grandchildren whom she loved with all of her heart. Her grandchildren are left with wonderful memories of a very supportive, nurturing, and patient grandmother who admired and loved them. Her grandchildren loved her so!
Beloved wife of the late Benjamin(2003) Bruno; loving mother of Joanne Mooney and her husband Martin of Wall Twp. and Linda Halewicz and her husband Edwin N. of Wayne; devoted sister of Mary Zaitzew, Andrew and William Yarmchuk and the late Frances Haskowich, Perena Brown, Plato, Olga and Alexander Yarmchuk; cherished grandmother of Martin Mooney, Jr. and his wife Kendra, Lynn-Claudia Massone and her husband Jeffrey, Daniel Halewicz, Timothy Halewicz and his wife Julia, and Benjamin Halewicz, and much loved great-grandmother of Casey and Christian Mooney and Athena Halewicz.
