Veronica Obringer (nee Bruder), age 94, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 1, 2023.
Veronica was born in Union City and lived in North Bergen before moving to Wayne. After calling Wayne her home for many years, she moved to Cedar Crest Village in 2011 where she had been an active resident ever since.
After Veronica graduated from high school, she went to work in New York City where she got a job as a bathing suit wholesaler for Jantzen Swimsuits. She worked in the Empire State Building for seven years. She also worked as an aid in the Wayne School System helping handicapped children. Finally, she worked as a legal secretary for GAF Corp in Wayne.
Dancing was something that Veronica loved. She met a gentleman named Robert at a ballroom dance academy. They danced very well and very naturally together and, they subsequently fell in love and were married a short time later on April 7, 1951. After honeymooning in the Bahamas, they first settled in North Bergen where they were blessed with their two sons, Steven and Robert. They later moved to Wayne where they were blessed with their daughter Lynn. The area around Veronica’s home was a virtual playground. All of the neighborhood children would gather there to play. Veronica’s travels spanned the globe! She traveled throughout North America, took cruises to almost all the Caribbean islands, traveled abroad to all of Europe, China, Russia, Africa, and Patagonia. Closer to home when her kids were young, she was known for her spontaneity when traveling, whether it be when camping or even a trip to Disney World for a long weekend. Veronica was a devoted mother to her children and an adoring grandmother to her grandchildren. She was a parishioner of St. Mary’s Church in Pompton Lakes for many years.
Veronica is survived by her daughter Lynn Obringer and husband Joseph Petrick of Key West, Florida, two sons: Steven Obringer and wife Linda of Kinnelon, and Robert Obringer and wife Marlee of Pompton Plains; her cherished grandchildren: Katy and husband Andy, Steven and wife Crystal, Mary and husband Nate, Bobby and wife Jill, Heather and husband Rob; and her precious great-grandchildren: Emily, Ashley, Emma, Charlotte, Matthew, Ben, Hunter, Nolan, Vaughn, and Christie. She was predeceased by her husband Robert in 2005, her brother Bernard in 1973, and her sister Florence Waldy in 2017.
