Renee Ann Drag (nee Haggar) age 55 of Pompton Plains died Tuesday, June 14, 2011 with the comfort of family by her side.
She was born in Brooklyn, NY and when she was five years old moved to Paterson. She lived in Wayne and Lincoln Park before moving to Pompton Plains thirty-three years ago.
Renee graduated from Wayne Valley High School with the Class of 1973 and graduated from the Sawyer School of Business, Clifton in 1974.
She was a parishioner of Holy Spirit RC Church, Pompton Plains and volunteered at the Holy Spirit School as a librarian for many years.
Renee met the love of her life, Tom, through her brother Russ. Tom and Russ were best friends and Renee was Russ’s younger, pretty, little sister. Just before her senior prom Renee and her boyfriend broke up and she asked her brother if Tom would escort her to the prom. Tom said he would and suggested they go on a date or two prior to the prom. They fell in love and eventually married on May 15, 1976 at the Immaculate Heart of Mary RC Church, Wayne. They have enjoyed thirty-five years of loving and devoted marriage.
Renee was the executive secretary for Marcal Paper, Elmwood Park and later worked for the TRW Corporation, Fairfield. In her later years she worked in cosmetics at Macy’s in Wayne where she met many life long friends.
She was the loving wife of Thomas J. Drag; devoted mother of Dr. Thomas J. Drag II and his wife Andrea of Hopewell Junction, NY, Timothy J. Drag and his wife Michelle of Pompton Lakes, and Daniel E. Drag and his girlfriend Michelle Kimball of Hoboken; cherished grandmother of twins Thomas John III and Catherine Renee “Catie”, Timothy James II “T.J.”, and Brody John Drag; sister of Roger Haggar and his wife Pam and their son Nicholas of Temple Terrace, FL, and the late Russell and Ronald Haggar.
