Sharon M. Micchelli (nee Scanlon), age 62 of Bloomingdale, died on Thursday, December 26, 2013. Her family was gathered at her bedside when she passed.
Sharon grew up in Salem, New Hampshire and graduated from Salem High School with the class of 1969. That summer after graduation she wound up at the most notorious concert of all times; Woodstock! She moved to New Jersey with a friend in 1970.
Sharon met Robert Micchelli at a restaurant called Martha’s Vineyard in Clifton. Robert’s pick-up line was unique; he told her he was a hit man for the mafia. He was such a nice guy though, that she didn’t fall for it. They dated for a few years before marrying on April 3, 1976 at St. James of the Marches RC Church in Totowa followed by a honeymoon in Aruba. They had lived in Clifton and Totowa before settling in Wayne in the mid 1980’s. They were best of friends and enjoyed a very loving and fun marriage. They loved to be spontaneous and had a lot of fun together. Sadly, Robert died suddenly in 1989 and Sharon was left to raise their three daughters on her own.
Sharon worked very hard, and even struggled at times, but she poured her heart into being the best mom she could be to her three children and she smiled through it all. Working full time, she still made it to every sporting event, school activity, and birthday party. She was the consummate devoted mother and her girls are grateful for everything she was able to do for them. Sharon was their biggest fan and would cheer at every game. She would even cheer for everybody else’s kids too! Her grandchildren enjoyed her support too and they will all tell you how their Grammy would cheer for them. Sharon’s laugh was one of a kind and infectious! If you ever heard her laugh, you never forgot it and you can probably hear her laughing now in your memory. That’s what Sharon would want everyone to remember; her endless optimism, wonderful smile, and unforgettable laugh.
Sharon is survived by her three daughters; Stephanie Rossow and her husband Richard of Bloomingdale, Lisa Higbie and her husband Michael of Bloomingdale, and Suzanne Rossow and her husband Raymond of Ringwood, six grandchildren; Sophia, Ryder, Mikaila, Carlee, Gabriella, and Kyle, her sister Patricia Scanlon of Amesbury, MA, and sister-in-law Frances Fiore and her husband Edward of Lincoln Park, niece; Kristine Corrado and nephew; Benjamin Ferrante, and great-nephew Avery Ferrante.
