Rona “Siby” Kling (Gallen) age 61 of Wayne passed tragically in an auto accident on Sunday, June 1, 2014.
She was born in Brooklyn, New York and raised in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn. She graduated from James Madison High School in Brooklyn with the Class of 1971.
Rona worked on Wall Street in New York City as an office manager of several companies. Her career path brought her to work with her brother Ira Herman Gallen at his company called Video Resources, a 40’s, 50’s and 60’s nostalgia toy and film company. For many years she had been groomed by her father to take over his realty business based in Florida. Upon her father’s passing she took over his business, Norman Charles Realty in Sunrise, Florida where she was currently serving as a director of the company.
Siby will be remembered as the kind of person who was there for anybody. There was no job too big or too small for her to step in and help with. She could light up a room with her presence, she was positive, competitive, strong, and always there when you needed her. A sports enthusiast she loved golf and was a member at the Greenbrook Country Club where she also enjoyed playing tennis. She loved to organize a party, and especially loved to be with her family.
She was the loving wife of Steven Kling; devoted mother of Jason Gallen and his wife Jacqueline of Wayne, Melissa Reinhardt and her husband Mathew of Syosset, NY, Lauren Schneebaum and her husband Joseph of Bel Aire, Maryland, and Craig Gallen and his wife Carolyn of Manalapan; loved grandmother of Noah and Skylar Gallen, Max and Jordan Reinhardt, Emily and Sarah Schneebaum, Christian, Charlotte, Coty, Carter, and Camilla Gallen; she was the cherished daughter of Sylvia Gallen and her late husband Norman; dear and loving sister of Ira Gallen of New York City, and much loved daughter-in-law of Carol Casazza and her late husband Bill Kling
