Virginia “Ginny” Foley

Pompton Plains

Virginia “Ginny” Foley (nee Adair), age 79 of Pompton Plains died peacefully with her family gathered at her side on Sunday, June 27, 2010.

Ginny was born in Newark, NJ and grew up in Hawthorne, graduating from Hawthorne High School with the class of 1948.  She worked for many years at Grand Union in Wyckoff and Oakland before retiring in 1992.

Ginny met her husband Bob while roller skating in Hackensack.  Bob spotted her across the rink and thought she was cute.  He asked her to skate and they never looked back.  Together they enjoyed sixty years of wonderful marriage.  Ginny was a wonderful cook and an even better baker, especially her cheesecake and pies.  She had the ability to remember everyone’s birthday and without fail she would bake a cake to celebrate.  She enjoyed spending time at their vacation home in Shohola, PA, packing a picnic lunch to Thunder Mountain in Ringwood, or spending time in her garden.  She leaves her family with a wealth of memories to cherish forever.

Ginny is survived by her loving husband Robert of Pompton Plains, one son; Robert J. Foley and his wife Lynn of Wayne, their children, Michelle, Jennifer and Stephen.  Daughter Sharon Van Ness and her husband Mark of Jefferson, NJ, their children, Katie Gray and her husband Jon and Christopher.  Daughter, Maureen Felletter and her husband Jim of Pocono Lake, PA, and their children Jimmy, David, Michael, Shannon and Morgan.  Daughter Eileen Rajczyk and her husband Joe of Newton, NJ, and their children Samantha and Kelly.  Ginny is also survived by two great-grandchildren, Ryan and Asher Gray and her brother; Robert Adair and his wife Tryna of Effort, PA.

Those planning an expression of sympathy in Ginny’s name are asked to consider the Alzheimer’s Association-Greater NJ, 400 Morris Ave., Suite 251, Denville, NJ 07834.
