Roberta Joy Boothney, age 73 of Wayne, died on Saturday, February 12, 2011.
Roberta was a resident of Wayne since 1948 and was among the first graduating class of Wayne Valley High School in 1955. She was actively involved with her high school reunions every year since. She operated a salon in Pequannock called “Hair” before taking up wood carving in the early 1980’s. She ultimately became a State Champion wood carver and built a studio at her home. She was everyone’s friend, the life of the party, and had a beautiful, free spirit.
Roberta lost her husband Augustin “Buddy” Boothney in 1977 and her fiance Joseph Fiorentino in 2000, whom she had met at wood carving school in the 1980’s.
She is survived by her two sons; Wayne Boothney and his wife Susan of Wallington, NJ and Craig Boothney of Wayne, as well as Joseph Fiorentino’s children, who she loved as her own; Joe Fiorentino and his wife Deb of Bangor, PA and Lisa Fiorentino of New York City, and her grandchildren; Chelsey and Carson Boothney of Florida and Mark Fiorentino of Bangor, PA.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Roberta’s memory would be greatly appreciated. An educational fund is being established for her grandchildren, Chelsey and Carson Boothney, and donations can be sent care of: Wayne Boothney, 266 Main Avenue, Wallington, NJ 07057.
