Rosary (Accardo) Gaffney-White age 75 of Hamilton, formerly of Wayne, passed Sunday March 29, 2015 at her home, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born and raised in Paterson having lived on Jersey Street in Paterson. When she was just nineteen years old she married the late James Gaffney (1994). Once married they moved to Wayne where they lived and raised their family for forty years. She lived in Bluffton, SC for seven years before moving to Hamilton five years ago to be closer to family.

Rosary was a secretary for Social Services in Paterson before being married. Soon after she married she stopped working to dedicate herself to raising her family. Once the children were of age she returned to the workforce as a secretary first at the Fairfield Industrial Center in Fairfield and later for Cytec Industries in West Paterson before officially retiring in 2001.

She was very dedicated to her Catholic faith and was a parishioner at Our Lady of the Valley RC Church in Wayne for many years. Rosary will be remembered as a great cook, a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother who had a great smile and loved to ballroom dance.

She was the loving wife of the late James Gaffney (1994) and the late Ray White (2005); devoted mother of Elizabeth Proszynski and her husband Mirek of Hamilton, Michael Gaffney of Randolph, and Patricia Gaffney of Chatham; cherished grandmother of Jessica Proszynski, Juliane Proszynski, Jacqueline Proszynski and Meagan Howarth. She will be sadly missed by her furry companion Sweetie.

In lieu of flowers memorial donations to the Xaverian Missionaries, 12 Helene Court, Wayne, NJ 07470 would be appreciated.
